Awesome story so far; I am loving it!!

I am interested in Cory’s ‘unconventional’ diet. I guess I hear about the ‘mostly protein’ diets, but not too much on the ‘eat more fats’ diet. Any chance you could convince Cory to do write up on his 40-lbs weight loss??

A pedantic continuity person would point out that, at the time Lynette handed over to you, you would have believed she had lost 30 seconds to Team Infinity Stamina rather than gained 3 minutes. I don’t think that would have changed your resolve as that is clearly a motivated push off you’re executing.

Also, happy belated birthday.

I’ve been away on travel the last month…just catching up (I had completely forgotten about the race)…so ad me to your tiny list of people who don’t know the results yet…great report Fatty (as always)! And a belated happy B-day too!

I didn’t see any excuses there either – just Danny pointing out that Lynette really did put that much time into our 4th leg riders. Give her the credit for riding strong and consistent!

Hope you had a great birthday Sir Fatty! Turns out you share a birthday with my wife (although she seems to be staying a full year older than you).

Belated birthday greetings from Mallorca. Famous for its cycling but I’m on a yoga holiday with intermittent internet connection. Hope you have a fantastic year – but you always do. The reward for being a nice guy. Best wishes.

I too am in the “waiting to find out the results” group. The suspense is part of the fun. Keep ‘em coming.

For your birthday I think I’ll go find a local Strava segment that you don’t have a great time on (presumably because it’s on some boring stretch of road that you rode once on your way to a real ride or something) and then beat your time and mock you. Of course, this is only because I’d not have a prayer of beating you on a segment you were trying on (well, except maybe a technical downhill trail run segment, but you get a break there – after all, you’re not the Fat Runner). Either way, prepare to be mercilessly teased by somebody you don’t even know. You’re welcome.

Lisa are these the excuses you’re referring to? ;-)

I have refused to look up the results because I prefer to have the ending be a surprise! So, yes, you have at least one person who does not already know :) I’ve also been skipping over the comments on each post, just in case there are unintentional spoilers. I’m not a big fan of knowing the ending before I get there!

And also…

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to YOU, Happy Birthday dear Fatttttyyyyyy…. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUUU!!
