Hi guys, sorry, this one is actually OT...

Just wanted to let everyone know that I came 5th overall on Saturday
night in the Caboolture Historical Village Dusk to Dawn 12 Hr event - I
ran 100.608km.

Tam

So what if it's OT - that's a sensational effort! How are the legs?

did you forget your pump again?

On 2006-02-06, Tamyka Bell (aka Bruce)
was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea:

And, jh, how was Hell of the West?

Tam

far out, that's impressive. On foot even.
Almost spilt my up-sized x-large coke from Macca's on the keyboard reading that.

Better than I expected. Yesterday, stairs and ramps were very difficult.
Today I'm walking normally, just the hips are a bit sore, and the calves
were tight when I first got up (which I expected - the quads and hammies
don't get too bad because the weight of the legs is enough to keep them
a bit stretched, but the feet tend to curl up easily under the force of
tight calves).

Try cleats with a bit more area, maybe Look Keo's or Shimano SPD-SLs,
and some stiffer soled shoes.

There's no point in posting something like that when Dutchy isn't about.
You might have to re-post when he returns. 😉

Tam, that is awesome - congratulations. Its strange, but almost immediately after having just typed that first sentence, my emotional plane shifted. Bear with me.

My initial reaction (which was along the lines of):

1. you beauty;
   
2. congrats;
   
3. marvelous effort;
   
4. pleased for you;
   
5. etc etc
   

was soon replaced with thoughts like:

1. poor dear, why are you doing that to yourself;
   
2. she obviously needs help;
   
3. I wonder what is she running from;
   
4. whoa thats kinda f*&ked up.
   

So I set about trying to get you some help. I Googled "runners anonymous" and this is the first hit. So, its pretty clear that your type won't recover from this affliction and dont want to be rescued, and that your fellow a.b.er's should just wish you well and pick up the pieces later. WELL DONE!😄 😄 😄

Bleve, not sure if you've read the whole thread or were joking with your above comments, but I think running 100 km with road riding shoes with any cleats on would probably make things worse.

errr well, i will scratch out a couple of words when they post the
results on their website (not 100% sure of my times), but I am sure I
did a little slower than last year, but still managed to finish, a
little bit disappointing though.

Oooh, speaking of that horrible, horrible food substitute (Macca's, not
coke)...
I had a double quarter pounder as my pre race meal and a sausage and
egg mcmuffin afterwards. Do you think I can ask for sponsorship?

I'd suggest then maybe a bit more seat setback and shorter cranks,
maybe 170mm?
