'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

New Beginnings...

Mrs T starts her job on Monday so I will need to sort my training programme out to fit around taking our daughter to school and collecting her; yep, for the first time I will be responsible for the school runs. What it does mean is that I definitely won't be at the Odiham sprint - we haven't had time to get childminding etc sorted. Never mind, it wasn't as if I would be setting the road alight.

Onto other things, the scales were good to me this morning - 11 stone 11 pounds. So thats 9 pounds I've lost since returning from Qatar and only 7 to go to reach my goal weight. Also, I managed 1 hour 40 mins of cycling today and have clocked up nearly 6 hours and 170km so far this week. With 126km of the IS Sportive on Sunday then 300+ km is definitely going to happen. Just a question of by how many I actually mange.

Train smart folks.

11 stone 11 pounds? Are you sure you didn't have your considerable wallet in your pocket when you stepped on the scales?!?!?! :-)

Come now Frank, you know that Mr T allows Mrs T to hold the real money. This allows Mr T to abuse Ebay in isolation 8-)
