So you DID Wang Chung that night?

I wanted to but was a bit young at the time.

I tried to party like it was 1999, but I didn't get paired up with that guy.

I studied Wang Chung, but that was back in the 80s when everybody was.

dang you beat me to it.

you gotta be careful doing that, or you'll end up footloose.

I played Varsity Basketball in HS all 4 years and Bowled, we went to tourny all 4 yrs I played. Only reall personal accolade I had was I was able to dunk when I was a sophomore. Now I just bowl an have a bunch of awards for that

I have seen Scutter and he doesn't look that tough to me.

You don't need to look tough to use leverage, pain, and intelligent application of strength and speed. At least, that was the impression I was given by my instructors way back when.

My 5 bucks still stands on Scutter

Add some bacon and I'll sign up to join that sports team.

Eating sticks of butter wrapped in bacon would be the American version of Russian roulette. Except it's the first person to die of heart attack rather than gunshot....but I would play that game

A lot of my athletic skills are in the past now. Used to do a lot of running. Held the mile record for the college I went to. Before all USA track was in metric. Played soccer. After that ran 5k and 10k races. SCUBA diver.

Now with knees and hips that are wearing out I had to give up a lot of that.
Just got a new road bike this week. Have been using the mountain bike to train for some 100 mile (50/day)weekend rides. One on Michigan in Sept and Hilly Hundred in October. I don't think I will be the only rider over 60 in either of those.

Part of the reason for the serious training now is to get rid of the 3 to 4 lbs/year that I have gained in the last 10 years. Need to get back in better condition. No riding at least 10 miles a day with several 30 to 40 miles days each week. The hills on the rides I mentioned will be the most difficult part.

Now for some INGO help.
Which jersey should I wear for the Hilly Hundred....or maybe one on saturday and the other sunday.

INGO member Lars is also riding the Hilly Hundred. He was putting together an INGO cycling jersey. I don't know if that's still happening, but you should contact him.

There is a gym I used to intern at that is having a police vs fire crossfit challenge for any one from any department in the state. Church of Iron. They are located on the NE side of Indianapolis.

I play indoor/outdoor soccer and will be participating at the World Police and Fire Games in Aug at NYC. I also CrossFit and trust me, that is a sport. The CrossFit games are going on this weekend in CA but I'm not as good as those guys. I can Deadlift over 500lbs though.

You've got more than me. I've never been interested in team sports, even in grade school I didn't like them. I can honestly say that I don't even know the rules to basketball or football (baseball is so easy that i've picked up the rules to that).

That being said, I've always been interested in adventure racing, but have never participated or gotten "off the couch" to go do it. I have, however, signed up for the Tough Mudder Indiana this November ( Which I realize is not an adventure race, but it's as good of a place to start as any) to get me motivated to get in shape (plus they support the Wounded Warrior Project, which is one of the VERY few charities that I am very interested in).

I've started running and working out, neither of which I really know anything about. Already made the mistake of running too hard right away and causing a few over use injuries, but I always seem to have to learn the hard way. Oh, and I started mountain biking again. I'm not sure why I ever stopped doing that as it is quite fun.

I'm no athlete so I don't know why I'm replying to this thread.
