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

Dambuster


A BIG well done to all those who completed the Dambuster at Rutland Water today. What horrible weather; spectating was brilliant fun, though, made all the more enjoyable with pre-race bacon butties and hot coffee while all the competitors were faffing around sorting kit out.

Well done to Andy Reardon and Vicky Webb on becoming RAF Champs 2008. Vicky also won 30-39 AG overall as well. Kelda won 40-49 AG and Bev won 50-59 AG so a great day for the ladies.

I took a number of pictures that I will load onto Photobucket later today and post the link and password on the RAF Tri forum. I also spent a very enjoyable 20 minutes or so at the exit of T1 and will post another piece here about what I saw. Suffice to say that "Why do 95% of those people that have their bike shoes clipped on in T1 do it?"

A rare shot of me looking happy in the water!

Thank you for speckle-tating Turbo! It was great to have your support and to hear your frustrated "Come on Debs" as I spent half an hour clipping into my bike at T1. A very good day for RAF Tri
