'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

"Fat Mick"
This is the picture of me at the Inter Services that prompted Chairman Pete to make the "muffin top" comment.
Turbo you really need to get a grip, I don't have all night to wait for you to cross the finish line at Aberfeldy you know, there are limits! Perhaps I should have your room key and I can catch up on some sleep whilst you haul yourself around the run, LOL!!!
So named because I used to enjoy hard session on the turbo trainer; but no more. I still use the turbo for occasional interval sessions but you're more likely to find me at the CrossFit gym nowadays, or actually out and about on the bike.
I'm also a follower of the Primal Blueprint, although have a few too many non-primal treats to consider myself a devotee. Chocolate, cake, ice cream and red wine are all part of a healthy diet, but only in small doses of course!

Yes Yes Yes! It's not just me that has moobies!
And before you say it, I know you're nearly 20 yrs older than me and mine will be past my knees by the time I'm 45, but small victories.
Now waiting for pictures of me to emerge looking even worse...
Chairman Pete would be proud to have a stomach like that! You're a fine figure of a triathlete.
HTFU? Not too good with 4LAs.
Harden The F*ck Up!
Go to youtube and type it into the search engine - very funny.
