Turbo Man's Fitness Blog: Challenge Barcelona

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

Challenge Barcelona - I'm on my way ...

The bike is packed, just got to put my race kit and some spare underwear in a bag and then I'm ready. The alarm is set for 0400 tomorrow; ye gods!

I'm not sure what race tracking is available but the relays are going last and have a scheduled start time of 0840. Our race number is 2344 and our team name is Tres Vinos Finos ('3 Fine Wines'), because we're getting better as we get older!

Hopefully I will have another PB to report on when I get back. All the best.
