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 Winter Bike

Is ready! 10-speed, mudguards and lights. Excellent! Shame it's waaaaaaaaaay tooooo foooooooookin' cold to be out cycling! :-) But the turbo bike is ready, so I am ready. But it's Christmas ... so I'm resting. So I'm getting fat. :-)

Love you all. See you in the New Year.

PS I'm seriously tempted to turn up at the IS duathlon - that should give you all a laugh! Haven't done the duathlon since the Number 69 Porn Pants debacle - Jackie Wren still laughs about that!

Run/walk strategy in a Duathlon will give the crowds plenty of time to admire porn pants - that episode passed me by or perhaps my memory is just fading with age :-)

Saw my mate Paul (he of the mega bling training bikes - plural) on his cross bike yesterday, snow everywhere and -6, I think he has a screw loose!

Mr T Man NOT riding in such temperatures shows a modicum of sense.

Something I'm not normally known for, but I'll take it as a compliment this time! Not a great deal happening on the exercise front but I'm eating a bit more sensibly. However, there are 2 days of gluttony on the horizon...

Do the Du and go for a bike split! Last year they had a separate timing results sheet for fastest bike lap! Now that must tempt you? Easy 5k run, 2 laps warm up on the bike, then 1 lap eyeballs out for a good bike split, then cool down for remainder of bike. Oh yes, an easy 2.5k run/walk to finish. kylie pants not obligatory!
