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

Season Prep is Over ...

... it's time for the training to begin. I did my FTP test this morning and am very happy with the results; higher than when I did my first test of 2009 and only 10 watts down on my peak in July (although I may have peaked higher in September had I done another test). So, the benchmark stats are:

Weight 11 stone 11 pounds (75kg)
Max HR 187
FTP 290 Tacx Watts

I watched the Wales V New Zealand rugby this afternoon. Awesome. What a match. No, absolutely nothing to do with the game itself, but the stunning quality of my new toy:
Yes, 42 inches of Panasonic plasma HD quality. The step-up in quality from our previous TV is just unbelievable.
