I'm Tachy Phlegming. Like my namesake, Peggy Fleming, the ice skater, I love (the) ice.
The physical sporting events in which I excel are a little different from Peggy's and despite my preferences (I love the cold dry air of the ice rink), I perform maximally in hot humid climes.
Over many years, I have become a very serious competitor in my various communities in heart racing and nose running.
As I have boasted to friends, I have done endurance training in the above sports for days, weeks, months, and even years at a stretch to the point of collapse and where I felt like I would die.
I would not have done such intensive training if I had any choice in the matter. But some of my coaches (by amazing coincidence, their first name was always "Doctor") thought that endurance training was good for my character. They made statements which, in essence, boiled down to "What's agonal suffering if you're a champion heart racer?" After these profound words, I couldn't keep my nose out of it. (Yes, that is a double entendre).
Here are my numbers:
Heart racing: 135 (even with fluid overload).
Nose running: 12 mucus/phlegm expulsions/minute.
It seems that many of you have also been in intensive training for years and that some of you may even have times that surpass mine.
I am surprised that I have finally found people who can really compete with me as the various places in which I have lived have been (apart from me) apparently bereft of such unusual physical talent. My coaches, educated in the finest institutions in America, were completely unable to fathom the provenance of my physical fortitude and it appeared to me that I was unique in the world.
I'd love to hear some of your numbers in the above events (and any other sports in which you are competitive, e.g., swooning, special movements/day, voidings/day). (You can tell me your endurance in days, weeks and months too).
Despite my (admittedly geographically limited) great renown for the above physical prowess and the fact that other talent of my caliber is apparently heretofore unknown in the locales in which I have resided, I'm ready to stop training because I am fast approaching my dotage.
Therefore, it could help me to tell my coaches about your stats. I think they will be less interested in keeping me in tip top(ple) form if they know that other people can do exactly what I do.
