    Apparently the temptation overwhelmed you, Caulfield.

    I have skillfully avoided any fitness challenges. How about you guys?

    When I was 13, some 65 years ago, my father made me this offer: $5 if I could do 25 push-ups non-stop, another $5 for 50, another $5 for 75, and another $5 for 100. When I started I could do maybe 10. Took me a full year, worked at it every night, tried to increase by 10 each week, must have done 100,000 by the time I could do 100 non-stop. But $20 was a fortune. And Dad got me to convert myself from an underdeveloped weakling to a rather well-built teen. A wise father, way ahead of his time.

    Frazz is a cyclist, all of your muscles contribute to some extent. But let’s face it, your buttocks and legs do most of the work. The rest is just along for the ride. I’ve seen guys pay over $500 to drop 50 grams on a bicycle saddle, why would you want to bring extra biceps on a 5 km hill climb?

    Frazz is a triathlete. Usually they’re more balanced than runners or cyclists. He’s drawn skinny as a marathoner though.

    In this instance, as in others, Caulfield shot off his mouth before his brain was loaded.Always good to see him caught out.

    It’s long been said that swimming and running bring overall better health and allow greater flexibility for different kinds of work than exercise limited to building muscle tissue. Also good for avoiding build-up of fat tissue. Probably still true.

    Open mouth, insert food, chew gently.

    Caulfield in his early 20s is going to be a joy to work with.

    Interesting that if you train for any of the things Frazz does, your trainer will make you work on your upper body (too). But swimming in particular is almost entirely in the arms: the kicking is mostly about keeping your body horizonal(ish) to reduce drag.
