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

One hour at FTP...

...is chuffin' hard. But on the positive side, I got through it and I was pretty well spent at the end which means the level was probably about right. Mentally it is a tough session but I can't think of better preparation for a 5-hour TT.

On the downside, I have a meeting at High Wycombe tomorrow and then catch a flight to Glasgow for another meeting on Thursday. I suspect that I will be unable to get any training in on either day which will be disappointing in Week 1 of my new training programme. But that's the life of an age group athlete I guess.

Train smart folks.
