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

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

Well one of them. On the scales today I weighed 10 stone 13.4 pounds, thereby achieving my target of being sub 11-stone by The Outlaw. To put this into perspective, in 2006 I raced IM Germany at 11 4, in 2009 the lowest I managed was 11 6, whilst at the beginning of 2010 I was 11 12. Add to this my increase in FTP and my power-to-weight ratio will have improved significantly.

Happy Days!
