a feeling that stopping training would have the opposite effect on my weight.
I think I tend to overcompensate for training by eating more. Rogaines and interstate orienteering trips are the worst thing for me, I always gain a couple of kilos doing either.
Fatty Tooms has done the opposite, he is only racing elite at Easter because he doesn't fit into the sledge boxers :-)
No no, I made sure to get 100-110cm ones. I understood your secret code talk, Jen. ;)
