Mahoney says that research indicates there are benefits to training in humidity. Anyone know what the theory is behind that?

Don't know the answer to that but Port Adelaide's highly credentialled fitness coach seems to agree - Power shun altitude for heat.

Woudn't think one week in those conditions would be enough though. Maybe a couple of months.

Same deal with altitude training.

Interesting interview on the subject with Mark Neeld on NT news:-

We went on a walk through a part of Kakadu a few weeks ago. It was about 37oC, with humidity of around 70%.

Also, we saw a family of wild pigs and a crocodile. With the Wet Season well and truly here, and Kakadu being comprised of a lot of flood plains, I hope their walk is somewhat elevated. The crocs only multiply during the wet as the water levels rise, so I also hope they have a gun (or at least the sense to stay away from water's edge).

I'm very excited by the way Mark Neeld is going about his business of rebuilding this club.

Yeah. The beer tastes so much better afterwards.

Sam Blease is the most annoying according to Mark Neeld, is that a bad thing?

Dom barry weighed in at 67kg? Look forward to seeing him in 2014.

No, not at all - Bleasy has always been a unique kid with a great sense of humour.

Neeld's tone was almost affectionate.

Gina Rinehart, Clive Palmer and Andrew Bolt?

Gina Rinehart, Clive Palmer and Andrew Bolt?

Caroline Wilson, Jeff Kennett and Dwayne Russell.

I didn't think much of his ideal dinner guests.

Given your professed love of Andrew Bolt that's not surprising (though i reckon Lance Armstrong would be a Republican)

Nah he's a cheat, he'd be a Democrat.

Don't think much of them? Are you serious, I certainly hope his coaching instincts are better than his political choices.

Hahaha, what, love of the bolt?

Your kidding, take him up there with us, maybe we can take him for a swim.

I have a particular fondness for anyone that makes complete sense every time they comment. It's a particularly admirable trait.

Then I look at those that despise him, which includes posters on Demonland such as Biffen, Deeluded and WYL.

In anything was ever a rolled gold stamp of approval...

I loved his selection of ideal dinner guests.

It warmed the cockles of my pinko greenie heart.

I'm thinking more like a Mitt Romney, Tony Abbott, Cadel Evans kind of guy.

That's the problem. You don't "think" well enough.

Romney surprised by performing reasonably well under difficult circumstances, which included an orchestrated campaign of character assassination, but there'd have to be better Republican candidates. So no.

For a Rhodes Scholar Abbott makes too many mistakes and tries too much to appease the chattering classes with an equally ridiculous carbon dioxide policy. Even if it's more palatable. And now he's allowing a misogyny campaign to bite while he sits looking like a deer in headlights. I would have brutalised Gillard for her appalling policies and waste of public money. He's been way too soft on this disastrous Prime Minister. There's a real lack of talented leaders in the Liberal party. So it's a no to dinner.

And while I have the utmost respect for Cadel Evans' achievements if there's a more boring person walking the planet I'd be fascinated to know who it is. So it's no to dinner with Cadel.

Looking forward to your next "thoughts".

I had no intention of raising your ire by contributing something so trivial. Your response though, is amusing to say the least B-H.

These are my thoughts...

I'm bored.

Happy to engage.

I'll give you one clue. The lovely lass in my avatar gets a gig.

If that's the case, I don't think you'd be inviting any pollies, mainly because they wouldn't have your full attention. And of course they would be wasting your time. All things considered given your admiration for the lass.

I guess the question you would like to answer is....who are your other two guests that you would like at the dinner table?
