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

The Bee's Revenge - "Take away the pain but leave the swelling!"

OK, the bee may be dead but it's legacy lives on. One of my thighs (or at least the top of it) now looks like one of Chris Hoy's. When I woke up I described the swelling as marble-sized, or possibly golf ball sized. But now the swelling is an oval shape some 6" x 4" in size and maybe half an inch or more in depth and it's position makes sitting in a chair very uncomfortable. If it wasn't dead already I would hunt that bee down and ... well ... KILL IT!

Fortunately this week is a recovery week so I'm not planning on cycling too much, although there is the small matter of The Magnificat sportive on Sunday to look forward to.

Train smart fellow bloggers.

We need to work on a strategy for Sunday; I'm going for gold so will be pressing on from the off. Feel free to hang on to my wheel for as long as you can, but as you are older than me you may find your HR will be somewhat higher than your IM target HR. Chat later.
