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 Henley is GO!!!

A long course (ie Ironman-distance) triathlon on 18 Sep 11 with a swim in the Thames follwed by a lumpy bike course and a scenic run around on the tow path. Sounds ideal for all your mad IM-dstance athletes! I would love to do this (as part of a relay team of course) but I have other commitments already planned for Sep 11. Never mind, maybe 2012.

The leg is getting better. Fortunately it doesn't appear to be stopping me from cycling although walking and stairs are a challenge. Fingers remain crossed that I will be fully recovered by 3 Oct.
