yep....got a new dinghy for Heart of Gold and a nice 8HP Yamaha. Will
post full review shortly. The reason for the review is that this
particular dinghy is half the price of other models...took a chance on
it....a 10 foot dinghy with pressure floor for 600 bucks? Read the full
review next week.

Nutsy,

Boy! Are your posts ever FU. In one you talk about accepting a "Butt
Ugly" Hybrid Car so as not to give your $ to Big Oil and now a post of a
new Gasoline Outboard. I hope you're not going to tell me Yamaha OB is a
Hybrid? Hope your review will explain your split personality?

We may trade away the Tribeca or Outback for a Toyota Prius next week.
We drove one for two days and got 48 MPG and it was a nice ride...sort
of like being on a Star Trek shuttle.
I could care less about what the car costs so long as I'm not giving the
money to oil. I filled up the Prius ONCE!

How about a cleaner running 4 stroke? Best I could do. I also have a 2
stroke Yamaha 8 and a 2 stroke Yamaha 2 HP...both going on Ebay. As
usual I ended up with too many outboards this season.

All Portable Yamaha four strokes exceed Federal EPA 2006 emission
requirements and have earned a CARB 2-Star rating for very low
emissions.



Thom's an old salt and doesn't think in terms of brand new motors that
exceed emission standards. My nice Yamaha 2HP runs dirty like all 2
strokes...on ebay tonight and will post link to prove it! 8HP will sell
in the showroom at the yard.

Can't imagine why you'd need 8HP to move a dink a couple hundred
metres. My 2HP Honda moves a very heavy 12' daysailer quite easily.

Sounds like a waste of valuable gas to me.

It a waste of GASOLINE! Nutsy got gas to spare, along with Hot Air. It
really not emissiom free but harmless. It's what he he uses to power
ASA. Without it we'd be victims of Leyland and the "Meows"

This Time he's caught on both sides of a discussion and going down;
double times, or should I say double Hooked on his own line. Must of
happened went his new dingy went into Plane (G)

If you had a real dinghy, this wouldn't be a problem. But then you'd
need a real boat to be able to carry it.

You still don't need 8 HP anyway. As I said, 2 HP is enough to move my
toy boat.

So prove it! GumTree 10K this Saturday. Come on down. Still time to
enter. I'll be there, looking for a PB for that distance.

Or if you can't make the trip enter one of the hundreds of races the

one where the results are tabulated online. Post a link.

He only ran three miles, and he didn't say how long it took him to do so. A
10K is twice that long, and the organizers generally pack up and go home
after two hours or so.

I run slow, Maxi. 9-10 minute miles...and easy jog to keep my legs
strong and my heart working properly. I genereally build to a full run
in the last 1/4 and sprint the last. I also train with light weights,
high reps. I'm off today, but tomorrow I'll do another short run.

Certainly nothing wrong with that, a good training pace. It just
doesn't support your contention that no one who posts here can match

My running mates and I would leave you pretty far behind. Training for a
half-marathon (two years ago) we averaged 6.5 to 7 minute miles--not too
shabby for a bunch of old farts. Now we just run for conditioning, but we
still average sub-8 miles. I've been gradually switching to bicycling over
the past year or so, thanks to aging knees. Less impact. I also
rollerblade--I won three criteriums (criteria?) last year in my age
group--over 45.

Once again you failed to research anything, Maxi. Anyone can run fast,
but if your simply running for conditioning you're better off with less
sustained impact via slower miles. A sprint will get your HR up without
damage to knees and ankles. If you run the way I do, you can do it for
a long time and keep in better shape than with biking in most cases.
By the way, a marathon is 26 miles and up. Anything less is a run. Half
marathon is a term for halfwits.

You won 3 crits. Are you racing USCF? Usually the guys that still race over
45 are very good, pretty much untouchable by guys just entering the sport
(cycling). Or are those rollerblade crits?

Those speeds are very respectable for the given age but not
necessarily fast. If sub 8 is a conversational pace it is the correct
pace for distance training. depends on the individual. And no,
"anyone" cannot necessarily run fast.

A sprint will get your HR up without
damage to knees and ankles.

For conditioning it is heart rate over time that matters. Occaisonal
short sprints don't do it, but are better than nothing. You need
intervals or tempo runs alternating with conversational distance. At
59, I run thirty miles a week with a long run of 6.3 miles, a day off,
and a day of 440 intervals (which I hate, but are necessary so I won't
be embarrassed in competition). My ankles and knees are holding up
fine. I run most miles on trails rather than pavement in support of
those knees.

If you run the way I do, you can do it for

Not necessarily. Biking is still heart rate over time and working the
muscles. But the way you run is fine.

Impact? Do you even know how to run? Technique is everything, Bubbles.
Obviously you are just a duffer who might be better off on a treadmill with
cushioning. Or perhaps on that couch watching Teletubbies with Thomas.

A sprint will get your HR up without
damage to knees and ankles. If you run the way I do, you can do it for
a long time and keep in better shape than with biking in most cases.

If you run *properly* the impact to the lower extremities is minimized if
not eliminated. Once again you've claimed knowledge in an area where you
obviously are an amateur.

By the way, a marathon is 26 miles and up.

Actually it's 26.2 miles exactly.

Anything less is a run. Half
marathon is a term for halfwits.

In your dreams. You couldn't run a half-marathon if your life depended upon
it. I've seen your photos. BTW, half marathons are now more popular, if
less publicized, than marathons. Neither my running mates nor I have the
time, the desire, nor the dedication to train for marathons. We now run an
occasional 10K--I suppose you're going to contend that 10Ks are for
quarter-wits.

Neither my running mates nor I have the

I understand that one. I toyed with the idea briefly this year. But
I only wanted to run one if I could qualify for Boston. There is
actually a qualifying marathon in my little town. fairly flat course,
but even though the start is at 5:00 AM it would be very hot last
half. Race is in September.

I would need 4hrs plus 59sec and could qualify for Boston '07 as a
sixty year old. That's about a 9:12 pace. I run much faster than
that at the 5 & 10K distance but 26.2 miles is something else indeed.
The amount of time I would have to put in to train up to it is just
way more than I'm willing to do.

Hey, I might change my mind. Of course I'll need a sponsor. I'm
going to have to train in the area though, maybe 8-10 weeks this
summer, room and board. Crowds not good, maybe need to go to one of
