JEPPE

Hi everyone, Currently trying to get fit to increase my performance to race motorcycles. Have a bit of a story and some questions and I would appreciate some input. Firstly I'll explain the fatigue: In my teen's I had a stressful event happen in my life after which I was depressed and regularly fell ill with tonsillitis (2-3 times a year for four years). I never had any positive results for Glandular Fever but was only tested on a couple of instances so I suspect it may have gone undetected in one of the other times I was ill. Since then I have found it very difficult to push my body at all. Generally if I try to work out at what would be called a normal rate I will end up gradually fatiguing over the days and need to stop because I become upset, anxious, stressed etc. My endorphin high will last for maximum 30 minutes then I will experience those things. If I push it in a training session I will throw up or come close to passing out. I choose not to drink because if I have a big night I will literally sleep for 20 hours and be cactus the next day with the symptoms of above. When in a full time job, even if it's a easy no-stress week, I will sleep at least 12 hours at the end of the week even after getting 9-10 hours of sleep every night. It's as if I still don't get enough rest and my body gradually declines over the five days. This is with no exercise and a reasonable diet. This year I have had two other lesser but still stressful events. Immediately after these occurred my glands would swell and I would come down with a throat sickness, usually feeling fatigued for weeks after. For the pseudoephedrine: When riding the motorcycle at a practice day it will consist of two days in a row of 6 x 20 minute sessions spaced one hour apart. I used to do it as is and I have been testing with pseudoephedrine. My food and exercise prior to the track days has been consistent. These are the results: Without: Complete two sessions normally, after which my track times decrease massively. Each time I come back to the pits I'm exhausted, I just sit and close my eyes with aching muscles and no concentration, I barely even speak. Previously it has gone as far as crashing due to lack of concentration on the track, I would just be winging it. Maximum I will complete five sessions of the day. With (3 pills each day, one before the first session then every two sessions after that): Firstly I can complete two full 6 session days. My times constantly increase and I only see a plateau or very slight decline due to muscle soreness. Even when my muscles are sore I still have concentration therefore I have been able to beat PB's with absolutely no close calls (which were happening often before hand including occasional crashes) and can consciously analyze my body strength while riding, therefore able to compensate for it. I have no more exhaustion inbetween sessions, of course my muscles still fatigue and after the day I'm very ready for bed, but during I am coherent and feedback re: bike handling and adjustments are increased tenfold. So these are obviously pretty extreme differences. Of course I don't want to have to rely on a drug, even over the counter, for relief but I think it may indicate a possible connection to fatigue or something else in me that might be amiss. Has anyone had any experience with Glandular Fever or fatigue and can shed some light on whether this seems a result of it or how they have dealt with it? Or even any other kind of illness, sickness, etc etc. Thanks

^lol, yah guys, don't take him too literally. +1 to this. Can't hurt and you have a clean record which is a biggy, although because of the timing being nye and the fact that it was quite a severe fine it probably won't go through. But again, can't hurt to try. Have known a few people who have been pardoned before, including myself. Also perhaps you can call up Civic Compliance or whoever handles these matter and find out for sure what the rules are on how many people can be booked at the same time. Again it most likely won't help but it's a quick phone call. Very odd that all three of you were doing exactly the same speed over the limit >_> but cops can 'estimate' so this is most likely usual. A fuzzy system unfortunately!

Yes. Just beat my PB at the Island from April by .5 of a second after being set back by a traumatic crash in October. In an exhausted state as well! Now down to 1:46.3 oooooooh rah! Only ten more seconds to go

Was that at me? If by 'living' you mean at a great financial expense. Then yes, yes I do Hopefully one day I will experience the perks of sponsorship/race team. If I ever live in the US, even if only for six months, I'm getting one of these: Daddy Hilux, effing awesome.

Hilux! Known a few people in the motorcycle industry who have had a Navara then changed to a Hilux. Everyone I know who has had a Hilux has loved it, so much fun and never any issues, even the abused ones.

We are on the interwebs. This has no value.

Just got to the Island for a couple of track days and noticed a grey R35 in the car park of the hotel I'm staying at. [09-GTR]. Lovely.

Hey gamers, read this: http://www.penny-arcade.com/resources/just-wow1.html A little more info on what happened afterwards: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Christoforo http://kotaku.com/5871656/chastened-gaming-rep-paul-christoforo-responds-to-internet-infamy http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20111229/02504317222/paul-christoforo-doesnt-seem-to-know-how-to-stop-digging-deeper-hole-internet-infamy.shtml

Monopoly is awesome. Perhaps suggest shifting the Monopoly to the beach? I has done this with Scrabble, and I mean real Scrabble - not Words With Friends Worked very well.

Think I can get away with staying in bed for the next 15 hours until it's safe?

Meh, it's up to you how you manage your money. But I will never be without my vehicles no matter how big my mortgage is, and know people who can manage this so. In other news. Clock has turned over. Not saying it.

What mortgage?

lulz at comparing the two Do both

I saw a V Dub ute when I was in London, just like this. It's a golf right? Saw a Sirocco last night... Very nice for a small car.

Saw one. Wanted it. Looked again. Gone.

Most likely they are making and selling these stickers as well. That would be the smart thing to do. $$$$$$$.

'scrabble sticker things' definitely tipped the scale

How much do I get paid Moh?

'Jeppe' with the 'J' usual... Most people get that... Its the 'e' on the end that they forget. Still I'm used to it so not so much irking Anyway enough of that, no rain today, yay! (touch wood) Won a free ride day, yay! No tinted visor though, boooooo! New helmet though, yay!

Yah, cha_chaos kept on being pronounced wrong - understandably. This irked me. So I'm hoping this is a bit easier.

Best exhaust in the world. No overstatement. I know what you mean about spending money on it, but I thought you should know anyway for your next bike maybe . Plus they arent even that expensive for the Kawasaki and people know they are quality so you will get a substantial amount back on sale. Check out the cars, GTR has one and a few cars have sound clips.

Omfg I watched in twice in the space of 10 days. Balled my eyes out both times, so awesome. So amazing what he did for Brazil and how much they loved him. I never appreciated F1 until that doco.
