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

Taper

I always struggle with tapering towards an event, mainly because I can quite happily reduce my training volume but am completely unable to reduce my calorie intake as well. Consequently, a 2-week taper usually results in half a stone overweight come race day! So I try and limit taper to a maximum of one week.

Am also beginning to think of what to do in 2010. Thoughts of selling the TT kit have resurfaced so it might still be an option. Watch this space.
