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

More Litespeed Pictures and Training Targets

Not a great deal more completed but I put the wheels on and took it outside for (hopefully) a couple of better pics. The saddle is now fitted properly and I have ordered some titanium bolts specifically for the carbon bottle cages (wider and lower profile bolt head). In the daylight it looks really good; the graphics are very simple yet effective.
I got on the turbo this morning as well, nothing specific just an attempt to burn some calories and get the legs moving. I did though, do 20 minutes at my planned 2010 IM relay pace of 38kmh. This threw up some interesting (or maybe not!) stats. 38kmh equated to 94rpm in a 53/16 gear at 265 (Tacx) watts. This means I need an FTP of 340 watts in 2010 which represents an increase of 20 watts or 6.25% over my Sep 2009 figure; an entirely achievable target I would say and something I can focus on quite specifically in the weeks and months ahead.
Enjoy the rest of 2009, have a Happy New Year and train smart.
