Definately a bored bitch troll.

Ha.

Religious or not, what do ya think!: Yay? OR Nay

To give a serious answer for a minute, I'm agnostic, yet I still celebrate the holiday. Basically, its tradition. Its an excuse for my family and I to get together and show each other that we LOVE each other, and that is important. And, you sir, can go suck an egg for calling us "non-christians" hypocrites. Yes, I don't buy the idea that I'm going to hell because I don't take jesus as my personal savior, but I still believe in many of the values stated in the Bible.

Because buying shit and getting shit is cool! Duh!

The rule of thumb for most fractures is 4 to 8 weeks from the date of your surgery, depending on the bone's blood supply, and the severity of the break. The Fibula is one of the "best" bones to break, because it gets plenty of blood and is secondary to the Tibia as a supporter. That being said, [no skiing syndrome] is thought to be a very serious and possibly life threatening condition. Research shows that it can lead to such massive cases of clinical depression that unintentional suicide becomes a real concern. Therefore you should ski NOW.

I remember you pointing this route out Kurt! FAN-TASTIC climb guys! Thanks for sharing

I've thought about this route for quite a while. I've been on the other side of the mountain that time of year, but I'm curious to see what some ridge veterans have to say!

I'll add to this list: -Old fat ladies that yell "you stop kid" while pointing their fat old fingers when you are on the other side of the street crossing a side walk. Maybe being fat has just made them bitter??? -Bellevue rich kids in their massive SUV's rolling the window down just to tell you "how GAY bike riding is". At least my legs are in better shape than yours! -AGAIN, as you said, cars that tail bikes, even at 10mph. Now THAT is gay. -Security guards that tell you to "stop damaging private property" and threaten to arrest you, when all we were doing were manuals and 180's down stairs. Mabe we should have beaten him up??? Lastly: -OLD FARTS ON GREENLAKE YELLING AT YOU "YOU'RE GOING THE WRONG WAY ASSHOLE!" Dude, if I cared that much, I'd just hit you! End of story!

Could this go for snowboarding? Probably. I just think that speed fixes everything. The greater your velocity, the better chance you have to get out of the way! Yeah! No lights + MORE SPEED + Balls = SAFETY

Its OK man. We all know about your rough childhood. Don't be so hard on yourself!

Yeah but my stream is bigger. Ha!

Anyone wanna pay for all my gear, food, and travel expenses?

I live in the moment most of the time actually, its a major life quest of mine. Urinating always reminds of this and how wondrous and beautiful each and every moment really is. Nothing like pure innocent relief to up your spiritual awareness!

You see, mine's bigger!

fuckin' Aye.

Whats your horror story? My recent guy just turned from dick to utter jackass when he broke his half of the lease while giving me two weeks notice and a giant gas bill. On top of that, his cleaning habbits were so primitive that there are permenant oil stains in the carpet that I'm having to pay for. The icing on the whole thing is that he's probably the most self centered asshole I've ever met, and he's blaming the whole situation on me. I could seriously kill this guy!

Dude hecka is the weak man's hella. I'm hella gonna stick with my shit dawgs.

Wait, beer is hella good too.

Big juicy borritos are hella freaking good after shredding that 17 inches nonstop for 8 hours!

Its so hella F****ing sick when theres 17 inches of fresh snowgasm as Mt. Baker!

Why did everyone stop saying it!? Hella is HELLA fun to say!

Those tests are cool stuff arn't they! I've done tests where they can tell you how much of one substrate you are burning over anther. Last winter, durning a 60% VO2 max test, I reached 14% protein burning (healthy is under 10%). This, I was informed was slowing my metabolic rate down by 500 calories per day, which is A LOT. Since that time, I've spent a lot of time in school and devoting my energy to learning about this shit. I can't tell you how much my athletic performance has increased since I balanced stuff out - I'm 10 times stronger, and my endurance has gone through the roof. I haven't done a VO2 max test since last spring, but I'm curious to see whats going on. Also, that heart rate zone control is a great tool. On active rest days I never let my HR go above 153, whereas on "ON" days I'll let it go as high as I can freaking get it! One last thing I'll throw out there, its probably a really good thing that you are genetically predisposed to type 2 motor units. You've probably got fantastic reflex speed and you are probably less likely to overtrain - you'll build muscle very easily. At at any rate, I'd like to do more research on the genetics of performance; because some people can just "get it" and progress, while others simply don't see any gains despite all their efforts. Who's your physiologist may I ask?

I believe that this is an oversimplification. Sure, work out hard, get trained, whatever...but people like me that have fast-twitch muscle tendencies need that long, slow "fat burning zone" training to build the aerobic muscle to burn the fat. I was startled to see my physiology test results...the MD said that I was way too overtrained in the high aerobic/anaerobic, and that I needed to log much more time in the lower HR zone to let my body get good at not running on pure glycogen the whole entire time. Hence, less crashing. Back to the original question, I put a couple of GUs in my left front pocket, a couple of bars that sound good in my right pocket, keep the hydration tube handy (if it's not brutally cold) and pack in a sandwich that sounds good for mid day (unless I'm on a climb that won't allow such a rest). Chad, you do have a point about the value of long-slow endurance training. I've been reviewing some stuff tonight, and it increases muscle capilaries, shifts type 2b fibres more towards type 2a's (fast to slow switch), and increases the concentration of aerobic enzymes within cells. What is interesting however, is that some of the best literature I've read, and my profs. say this too, is that training can only affect your performance so much - genetics are the prime controllers of athletic ability. Training only realizes genetic potential and makes us healthier. I did come across some interesting stuff on VO2 max though, and basically, if you want to really improve your cardiovascular power, you still must go into the higher muscular recruitment zones that I was rambling about. Even endurance athletes need to activate the big "fast twitch" motor units in order to go harder and longer. This is where combined training probably comes in. Now, I don't have a degree in exercise prescription, but I have read a lot about high intensity interval training. Athletes who train at very high intensity intervals show greater overall improvements in VO2 max and lactate threshold. I'm guessing that this type of program should be periodized with seasonal long-slow endurance in order to optimize capillary density and enzyme profiles. Going with this, everything I read says that periodization is key. Too much long-slow stuff burns up more muscle mass (aminos for fuel when in ketosis) and too much anaerobic reduces aerobic capacity. Balance is key.
