And they said Adam was too fat

Ironman Adam Gordon says his career as a world-class athlete began after a Masterton teacher told him he was too fat to ever run.
Gordon, 27, was at the time a representative hockey player for Wairarapa College and the region but has since left his hockey stick far behind after "a switch flicked" and fitness and personal physical challenge became his forte.
"My college maths teacher told me I would never be able to run because I was overweight. But then a few years ago I found I just wanted to look after myself and I have such a hunger for success now," he said.
Gordon, who boasts barely 4 percent body fat on his 77kg frame, is now living and working as a personal trainer on the Gold Coast in Australia.
So far during his present visit home, he said, many of his old college friends have barely recognised him because of his overhauled lean and mean physique.
"The whole reverse psychology thing has worked a treat."
Gordon last month finished 15th at the World Championship 70.3 Ironman competition in Florida and also qualified as a card-carrying professional athlete in the gruelling sport.
"My aim was to finish in the top 8 percent and get my pro card - and that's just what I got. I was quite teary in Florida that day, quite emotional."
He finished the 90km ride at Florida in 2 hours 9 minutes, the 1.9km swim in 30 minutes and the 21km run in an hour and 9 minutes.
He is now sponsored by the Specialized cycle manufacturing company among several other sponsors, who pay for his competition cycles and apparel, some travel to events and his dietary supplements, he said.
He is happy to be competing for the first time as a professional for "Australia or New Zealand - that still has to be worked out" at the Port of Tauranga Half Ironman contest at Mount Maunganui that also doubles as the Triathlon NZ Championship on January 10.
He is now training toward the event next month and will return home to Australia on Boxing Day before travelling back again to make his bid at Tauranga.
He and partner and "number one fan" Jackie Pucci will spend Christmas Day in Masterton with his parents Bruce and Anne Gordon despite his training regime of a three-hour almost 100km run that morning and a time trial 21km ride that night.
And on his menu for the day will comprise lean meat and salad and "a heap of yoghurt and ice cream for the glycogen stores".
Gordon said the "fine science and strategy of the sport comes straight out of a lab" and minimises the risk of injuries while performance enhancing drugs at the same time plague the arena and are strictly monitored.
He is confident that training in the heat of a Gold Coast summer will serve him well in Tauranga, as it did in Florida, and his aim is to improve his times in each phase of the contest.
"There are plenty of people who compete well in mild conditions but I've found I can take things to the next stage when it's windy or hot," he said.
"But I wouldn't be on that starting line if I didn't think I could better my times. That's the whole point for me - I just need to prove I'm better and faster every time - it's just something I'm driven to prove."
