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

A very enjoyable week

This week has been a bit of a mixed bag, which seems to be a common theme for me over the past few weeks. I've managed some excellent training sessions with a good mix of swimming, gym bike, core, strength and treadmill work, but missed 2 sessions. The first was missed for a work related reason and the second was the fault of the Royal Navy. Or, more specifically, the Fleet Air Arm. Yes, I went to HMS Sultan's Taranto Night dinner in the Mess, sorry, Wardroom and Friday was spent facing up to the consequences of a very late night and too much excellent food and gin, white wine, red wine, port and more gin. It was a very enjoyable evening.

This weekend I hope to get my bikes sorted so I will be ready to start riding out on the road next weekend, although if the weather continues like it has been this past week I doub I will be getting muc riding outside at all; it has been truly horrible down here.
