Wrong, I actually showed up a page or two before that after reading Flavio's race report, then I think there was some discussion about the prevalence of the Next% in Tokyo.

 

And yes. I had a fractured knee cap and a ruptured patellar tendon that I spent 12 months rehabbing.  Still got two pins in the top of my knee.  Bike, elliptical, rower, treadmill, used them all.  A lot.  Two medical professionals who know a lot more about biomechanics than me told the elliptical is "functionally useless".  That's not the same as actually useless.  It's fine for low-impact cardio it just doesn't actually replicate any natural movements whatsoever.  Don't take it personally.

 

Honestly, showing up on this thread and throwing insults around (again) and "I told you so's" and telling people to 'stfu' is weak.  I don't know what your problem is but feel free to stop trashing this thread for the others that enjoy it and contribute positively.

I think you need to chill out buddy, my original post was just an observation...and I’m usually right.

The elliptical has been a HUGE help for me personally when I’ve had to cross train with niggles during marathon training....I’m a marathoner so maybe you don’t get what I’m saying. 😳

James - you're doing OK.  The swimming and pool running will help with general fitness.  I'm going to take a pass on whether it's functional.

Mark - nice week.

Piwi - good maintanance.

My week was good.

Weekly for period: From: 18/10/2021 To 24/10/2021

Total distance: 71.93km

 

Thread was perfectly chill until you showed up.  Again, if you've got some sort of problem with me, no need to trash this thread just because you've got a chip on your shoulder.

You are a funny bunny who gets riled easily. 

I hope Darkwave went to watch NZ vs USA in the rugby last night in Washington 104 to 14 

Sigh. Let’s move on.

So I have a previous history of getting a bit seasick, nothing crazy, but enough to not love boats. My partner was very keen to go whale watching, and even said she’d go it alone but I said that was silly ‘how bad can it be’. The answer to that question is worse than you can imagine.

We’d been out for about 30 mins, I took a couple of anti-nausea pills before we went, and while the swells were large, I was keeping my plan of focusing on the horizon and felt fine. Then I start feeling warm in a bad way and feel mild nausea. No problem I think. Within 2 minutes, I realise I’m in trouble. I lean over the rail because I think I’m going to be sick but instead, my vision slowly disappears and before I know it I’m on the deck. My partner tells me later I went down, got up then went down again straight away, this time smacking my jaw on the rail. I made my way inside and sat down for the next hour which was pure hell. Sweat was coming off me in torrents, and I overheard one of the crew telling the captain they’d monitor me and we didn’t need to return to shore yet. It never occurred to me they’d end the trip early. 

I somehow survived one of the worst experiences ever. We saw a whale for a split second incidentally. I can hardly keep my eyes open now. I’m going to try and avoid boats for the rest of my life. It’s provided great hilarity to my mates. I felt quite embarrassed but that moment when I slowly blacked out was quite scary. I feel perfectly fine now, except the exhaustion.

Haha piwi, that’s gold.

I actually do still have quite a swollen jaw and it hurts to eat, but that’s way more bearable than the nausea.

Weather was very good this week,  a bit humdid today, a bit windy on the Friday run, but the other runs were almost ideal.

Steve - I hope you are OK.  I went whale watching in Kaikoura in 2018, and had minor nausea, there was one person who got really sick, but they didn't turn back.  I lived in Kaikoura until I was 8 years old.
