Diva Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 (edited) You could rent the other out as a handler to someone else too ))))M LOL, they'd love that. But they are brothers and it could get a bit competitive! I'd rather do it myself if I can, I think it would be very rewarding. But the option of handing off for one leg is a good one.

Tassie Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 PROBLEM BEING? YOU CANT READ ENGLISH IN ALL CAPITALS. Sandra64 - it's just that in general internet politeness, using all capitals is regarded as shouting, and therefore seen as somewhat impolite, to say the least. So Parkeyre was just giving you a gentle heads up about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parkeyre Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 if your keyboard is locked on caps, you can go into your Keyboard program on windows and take off the caps lock. :D Start, Programs, Accessories, Onscreen Keyboard. or just search keyboard. You're welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freundhund Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Okay well I have spent an hour in the rain, walking the Diva, I wore my pedometer(I read the instructions and set it properly) and check out a 5 kilometer walk on Google. Yes it took me an hour to walk the 5 kilometre's. The Diva is trying now to convince the rest of the family she hasn't been on a walk as yet. Yours truely is collapsed in a chair. because normally our exercise program is a walk to the park, lots of ball throwing and my son biking her for me. I now think I should be in the loosing weight for 2011 thread not in the ET thread, accept I think I am now going to be doing both. Can anyone tell me as I get fitter will I be able to walk quicker thus further in an hour. Bike is still in the practising stage daughter has told me that there is no occasion whatsoever that I can wear bikeshorts, that they are a complete fashion no, no. :D I haven't mentioned the naked :D factor I think 23 year old daughter was already muttering, my mother is mad, my mother is mad, she should be in the funny farm :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With regular excercise it is amazing how quickly your body can learn to cope. As you increase the regularity of your training it will become easier. I live at the top of a big hill and being on holidays from work since Christmas have cycled (in lycra!!) most mornings about 45 - 50 kilometres. It is amazing how easy that final hill to home has become. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbiestar Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Ummmmmmm did mention that I am now expecting him to wear a pair of bike shorts as well and we will be going shopping for them later in the week. I guess now is not a good time to tell him about cyclists also shaving their legs to avoid injury when crashing! M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEPING Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Hey i didnt notice a age limit or minimum for dogs competing in the endurance test ? is there one ?? and it there any limitation in breed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerraNik Posted January 3, 2011 Author Share Posted January 3, 2011 (edited) Hey i didnt notice a age limit or minimum for dogs competing in the endurance test ? is there one ?? and it there any limitation in breed? It's all outlined in the rules Dogs must be from 2 years to 7 years inclusive. So once they turn 8, they can no longer do the ET. There are no breed limitations so long as they are fit enough to do the test. It's obviously much harder for smaller dogs, but it is possible.

TC001 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I am a cycling nut. cycling 20km at 10-15km/hr is very slow, don't really need cycling specific lycra. There are also mountain biking cycling shorts that look like normal shorts if you need to wear one. Many years ago when I started cycling, I cycle for 10mins got sored & went home. The next week I extended to 15mins etc. It took me about a months before I could cycle 20km. I have 5 -6 mth Lab, he is just begining to walk well. Last week end I introduced him to the bike, I push when there's an uphill/downhill section and just pedal very slowly along the flats. He took to it very well...saves my knees.

A budding ET competitor then? The ET should be a breeze for you both by the time your lab is 2. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M I am keen but I just read the rules...after the 20km run at 10km/hr some 2.5hrs , Willingness test is conducted after 15min rest. Anyone has a physical training program guide for this?
