Why no lose weight challenge?
Quote | Reply
As I see the run, and swim challenges, I wonder why the number 1 challenge for most folk is to get at a race BMI if one is serious
about racing. I do not care how much you swim or run, or ever bike, if you are way over weight, well, ...

Yes but he intends on trimming down a bit more by dispensing with a dirigible's worth of hot air in this thread. Just watch.

Shouldn't it be a weightloss(relativ) x ftp(normalized) challenge?

No idea. I do not have a weight issue.

Just seems a fair question that if you look at what many folks might be lacking for racing, the number one thing for many
to focus on is losing weight, not more swim/bike or running.

This is already part of the "what is your watts per kilo" thread. Lately I let my weight creep up and my swimming is awesome....until I got on the CT and my watts were down and sadly my kilos are UP!

You just reminded me of when I first started swimming at the Princeton YMCA. A skinny runner, I asked one of the good swimmers what I should do. His answer; ''You gotta eat more donuts!''!

Wetsuits are the great equalizer...allows skinny guys to keep up with fat guys in the. water and then the skinny guy ditches the wetsuit for bike and run but the fatter swim stud has to bike and run with the built in wetsuit.

Main reason I try to stay around race weight all year. I love the junk food, but not the big diets.

Hope you can get back to running to help get the weight off. Have you considered looking at the Bionic Runner to use in your rehab?

I'm 60kg now and was a way better swimmer at close to 70kg, more power and seemed to float better.

I like that....I am enjoying my bioprene floatation....I was also wondering why my hard sets in the 50m pool that is kept at competition temps don't feel as "cold" anymore....I was chalking it up to generating more watts working harder (since my splits were faster)....the reality is my bioprene layer is helping me hit the same splits at lower wattage while staying warmer. What's not to like about that if you're not trying to win the watts per kilo dick swinging thread!

It works also on the bike, in earlier years in winter it was horrible cold on it, now with the same temperature it feels milder ..

Bioprene! I love it

The BEST thing about BioPrene is that you don't have to pee in it to warm it up*

More training leads to weight loss, no?
So, you are implying that "many folks" are overweight.

Serious question, Dave ... WTF was the point of your starting this thread? Was it simply to build a pile of broken dreams of those you deem to be fat and less-talented than you in order to have something upon which to strut and crow?

Well, since D'Wife's latest nickname for me is "Skinny Little Shit" I'm thinking there may be some benefit to more strength training this Winter and maybe some protein supplements? Granted, as a small hairless mammal, I will NEVER be "beefy" ... maybe switching some mass around may be beneficial?
