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

Sunburn - BEWARE!

After my turbo session this morning I jumped in the shower (as you do) only to find that my sunburn has now blistered; not pathetic little ones either, large fluid filled blisters. This is not good.

Remember, prevention is better than the cure. Even though the weather forecast for Bala wasn't that good I should have applied suncream anyway. I will certainly be slapping it on for the rest of my races this year.

I would post a picture but children have access to the site!

My top tip for sunscreen is P20. It's an alcohol based sunscreen that bonds with your skin. You need to apply it 15 mins before it's required but it lasts through the swim.
