[Sportsandrec] Sportsandrec Digest, Vol 102, Issue 3

Tue Sep 9 14:04:02 UTC 2014

  Hi J,

  A great question, as I too am very keen on making sure my work out
partners are getting something out of what we are doing. I agree, if
it is a charity case, then things will fall off as soon as the do good
desire wanes in the person.

  I tandem cycle, and tend to conform my rides to what my captain
wants- i.e. if they can only go for 10-15 miles I take them up on it,
and attempt to find someone who is more willing to do 50-75 for
another ride. I also offer my thanks, and try to make sure it is a win
win for myself and my partner. Whenever I feel like it is leaning
towards charity I double check and make sure they are getting
something out of what we are doing. If they still seem to be leaning
towards charity after this talk I assume that they will not be long
for our partnership. Nothing is fool proof of course, but this has
seemed to work for me.
