@bouta_nt Been wet down here as well. Only opportunity to get up there and have some fun before we start seeding so have to Go4it. If the Barra aren’t playing, always fun on the Bluewater.
Dugong, squid and I at nagambie for their club to pub swim. A great rural event that keeps growing every year. Nice spot for a few recovery 🍺’s. @fat_farmers
@DavidSandow1@jdillon_james@fat_farmers There is a reason why the professional and elite athletes go up there to train. Too much for the bunnaloo flatlander.
@thyrafarmer@jdillon_james@fat_farmers This low elevation landscape has its disadvantages.
Mum went to Denver as exchange student. Pretty fit 16 yr old, came from rural SA in summer, felt sick just walking to school at over 5000ft in winter for a while.
AAAXTRI. Apparently Australia’s toughest long distance triathlon. 3.8 k swim in lake Jindabyne, 180 k ride around the hills and a 42 k run up mount kosiusko and back. Big day out for the flatlander from Moama tomorrow. Currently 8°. 🙈#sendit. @fat_farmers
@DavidSandow1@jdillon_james@fat_farmers Thanks David, altitude and elevation played their part. I was puffing like a chain smoker with my standard power output and heart rate. Hard to get hydration right when it’s cold and In the end both quads cramped up and I was done.
@thyrafarmer@jdillon_james@fat_farmers A huge achievement Luke.
Do you put the altitude difference down as the major factor?
ChatGPT reckons 8-10% less power output in naturally aspirated engine output between Moama & Jindabybe due to the increased elevation.
@jdillon_james@fat_farmers Thanks for the well wishes. Could not get the job done in the mountains. Swim✅ 170 k bike with 3500 m and legs just locked up 10 k from the start of the run leg. A big training day but not where this story ends. Better to try and fail than not try at all. @fat_farmers
@Bundogs Big dog about dead after our tri club multi sport weekend. Over 500 athletes from juniors sat morning, seniors sat arvo and back again for the 3 k and 1.5 k swim Sunday. Huge workload but oh so good to see so many enjoying our playground .
