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

Back on the Bike

It was a beautiful morning but family commitments meant I had to ride the turbo. This was the first time I'd been on the bike since last Sunday and I wanted it to be hard but not ridiculously so. The session I decided on was a 60km pyramid-type effort, getting steadily harder, peaking in the middle and then easing back towards the end. Managed the 60km in 1:33:40 without going above threshold so am pleased with that. Legs felt good.

Am looking to have 2 solid bike-orientated weeks now in preparation for the CowMan HIM on 6 July; will keep the swimming and running ticking over and also try to lose a few pounds.
