There’s some moron asking about beta blockers and testosterone 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻

Ive helpfully added links to WADA

You know the more I think about the more surprised I am that more people don’t die during IM. Maybe they die in training or something.

Would they only be banned though in sports that require a level of precision - snooker, maybe driving, shooting, archery … :dart:

Beta blockers vary by sport:

In 2017 at IM Wales, I was feeling thoroughly miserable on the third lap and bout to do that horrible out an back up The Croft.

A guy went to shake my hand and gave me three Cadbury Roses chocolates at the same time. I felt great after eating these, so clearly as a nutrition strategy, they work. :smile:

I didn’t cramp. However, I did lose my Mum at the finish line, so they don’t help your night vision. :wink:

I didn’t build it! I just installed it.

I don’t need to know I’m swimming at 1:50 per 100.

What would I do if said 1:51?!

Kelvingrove perhaps :sweat_smile:

What’s the file? For those of us that are not going anywhere near IMJ again.

I actually joined the generic IMJ group twice I think; can’t remember. Which one was that tool Riptide Jennings on.

Sometimes they float :clown_face:

Just a word doc outlining what to do specifically for IMUK.

How much elevation doe UK have? More than Wales at 2,400 mtrs?

I’m wincing just reading that thread. Ouch. Back on - under a new monicker

Nothing steep.
Just relentless.

Ah similar then but Wales has 4 FO steep climbs. (2 x 2)
