Neorprene and catwalks!
The 5th of November is one of the nights I miss the most about the homeland of bonny Scotland. It is not the same holding a singular sparkler on your balcony in 20 degree heat!
This serving of Paella and Bovril comes from Raith's midweek game against Livingston.
PLEASE SUPPORT YOUR MATCHDAY PROGRAMME.
Fashion, you are either with it or your not. " what colour will be this seasons new black?" What hairstyle is all the rage" or "what handbag will they be dancing round this summer?" But can these fashionistas keep up with the latest fashion, neoprene, Lycra and Vaseline. All over the world office water machines are the meeting point for departmental gossip, but lately the talk is not of scandals and drunken mishaps but of distances and times. Triathlons, marathons, mud-based torture runs are on the up and if you ain't doing it you ain't fashionable it seems. Associations all over the world are showing increase in memberships in their thousands, British Triathlon says Triathlon England and Wales has seen membership grown from 9,450 in 2006/2007, to 14,298 in 2010/2011. That is a huge jump as other sports struggle to get people interested. Even Gordon Ramsey has got on the triathlon band wagon and completed an Iron Man triathlon in Hawaii (this is a 3.8km swim, 180km cycle and "only" a marathon to finish it off), and the Iron Man is only a baby compared to the other extremes. People are wanting to push their bodies beyond their limits so want bigger and more extreme events. If one marathon isn't enough why not end your triathlon with two as in the Ultra Man event or start your swim from 4m up on a transport ferry in the middle of a Norwegian fjord before swimming 3.8km to the shore to continue thru the mountains on your bike and feet; and let's not forget the tough mudders! Wading through tonnes of mud from one horrendous obstacle to the next to be electrocuted, captured in nets and pulled up walls. A casual jog is no longer good enough to be fit n fashionable in the office, you need to add something! Football, compared to triathlons, marathons and other extreme sports, is still one of the most accessible for anyone to get involved with. You don't need a £700 bike, a wetsuit and a complete loss of your senses to have a kick about with mates. Just a few folded jumpers and a ball. You normally don't have to train for weeks on end to pop down to see the game on a Saturday. However, you do sometimes have to wade through mud. Let's make football the next big thing on the sporting catwalks this season and get everyone participating!
