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

Thanks

To all you nice people who have posted here or texted me after The Vit; very much appreciated.

The funniest, though, goes to Reg. As you probably know, we have both been aiming for a sub 5 race this year, and Reg came oh so close at Trentham. His response to my text with the good news that I had gone sub 5 was (with apologies to my Mum if she reads this!):

"u f***er"

Legs are still sore today so it's been another day of complete rest. I have cleaned the bike and got it packed away in its new bag ready for the journey on Thursday. I can't believe that this weekend the season will be over - it's all happened so quickly.

Recover well folks.
