Weigh-in & race results

Posted on April 21st, 2008 by Andrew

If you're new here, you may want to get my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting! I couldn't do this without the help of my commenters!

Today I weighed in at 98 kgs (216) flat. That’s 1.7 kgs (3.75 pounds) down from last week. You may recall that last week I was a bit peeved that I lost only .1 kgs but I guess I was just experiencing a fluctuation on the day. That is one of the perils of weighing in daily.

I checked the official results of my race yesterday and laughed once I saw them. I finished 5th in my age group and 20th overall. Not bad for my second race! If only the leading pack could go the wrong way more often. In the future I will know not to follow them!

Hey listen… I’d take stats like that anyway I could get them.
Seriously, I *loved* the picture from your last post where you were looking quite pleased with yourself, because you have so much to be proud of.
Bravo!

You are seriously a machine Andrew. First off, losing another 1.7kgs, so fab. But THEN to go and come in 20th place – out of all of those 300 people in your race? That’s nuts!!! Congratulations!!!!!

(sorry for the excessive use of exclamation marks, but really, they’re justified in this case)

The weight loss was a bit unusual this week and the race even more so. But I’ll take em both!

Good job! And 5th in your age group and 20th overall is great! Though I don’t suppose you’ll get that nifty break of the fast folks going the wrong way every time, LOL!

Still, very well done!

The way you’re going, we won’t be able to find you soon. Nice slow consistent weight loss — that’s the way to go.
