Turbo Man's Fitness Blog: I know it's getting close now because ...

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

Kelda picked my bike up today to take it to Barcelona; next time I see it will be next Friday just 2 days before the race.

I did another 45 minutes on PoD today and managed a slightly faster average speed of 33.8kmh; the wind was slightly up which meant the first half was slower but I more than made up for that on the return leg. The bike is certainly fast although as an aluminium frame it is fairly unforgiving; and went through a bump today and it bounced me right off the saddle.

Anyway, it's nearly time.
