Then came in season sprints. Lots of them,....
For the next 6 months I was the at 143 pounds and 11% body fat.

It was beautiful for the moment in life, but the work to maintain that regime for a lifetime would be impossible.
Wow. Yes, it is alot of work, more like overtraining (?) to maintain that weight + low body fat.

Had my fat measured 1 and only time so far, over 4 yrs. ago. I can't even remember the %.. don't really care nor have a need to know. Too much effort to plough through my papers to get to the set of medical test results.
