Turbo Man's Fitness Blog: Sunday Ride

NO LOVE HANDLES ALLOWED!

'It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.' Theodore Roosevelt 23 April 1910

Sunday Ride

What an excellent ride this morning, just under 3.5 hours and a touch over 100km. Weather was a bit ominous when I left the house, with a few spots of rain, but once I met Sags the weather was fine and we had to stop after a bit to strip off a few items of clothing. A gentle wind that wasn't really noticeable whilst it was in our faces but when it was behind you noticed the increase in speed. Sags had another engagement so peeled off after about 2 hrs 20 mins (he had done 15 or so miles before we met though) and I had a wind assisted ride all the way home, staying above 20mph for most of the way.

Overall, a very good week for me, with 11 hrs 15 mins of quality training.

Sags said...: It was indeed a nice ride. I actually felt quite tired but wasn't going to let on in case you stuck the boot in! You are on form T Man 8-); 4 May 2008 at 18:24
