pfft. It’s a day of exercise and you get to change up between activities. Sure it takes some training but it’s no worse than, say, mtn biking 100 miles at altitude.

Fatty certainly has the base fitness to complete an ironman.

My first “race” ever was a marathon, I subsequently was hooked ran a 50k trail race 2 months later and found that when you run ultras marathons become just training.

Many ultras & marathons later life interfered. Still I ran (waddled really) twin cities on *no* training, just a few long runs (4-5 hours once a week on trails once a week) and finished in just under 5 hours comfortably pacing a friend to the finish in just shy of 5 hours.

My fastest? Of course not.

Good run though and the basemiles I had in my lags could have carries me a good bit less slowly had I not been pacing a friend.

If it hasn’t been said yet, this is going to be an epic, historic post. The comments have really taken on a life of their own. What with the intentional misconstruals, the accusations of “idolatry”, and then the personal attacks.

This post, and more especially the comments, will, D-day-like, live in infamy.

@numberone

It’s obvious that I’m not exactly enthralled with the blog right now but as a fellow Mormon that hurts everyone involved and is completely unnecessary.

BellaBike – after being a reader for so long I wasn’t quite ready to give up Fatty’s blog. Thanks for the push.

Fatty – you are incredible individual and have done amazing, wonderful things. I truly wish you and your family all the best.

Why does it seem that religion, nationality, gender, etc., always is a part of ignorant put downs?
A sad part of the human condition I guess.

@numberone – I think you should change your penname to numbertwo.

1. It is inappropriate & rude to question a persons grief process in public.

2. It is unbelievable that you would negatively stereotype the people of an entire religious organization.

3. I am pretty sure Fatty has never asked for you to give him money.

4. Go away.

People with no sense of humor are sad.
Mean people just plain suck.

Elden, you keep up the good work.
