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

Today's CrossFit Session

Very simple.

Run 1 mile
100 sit ups
100 dorsal raise
Run 1 mile

Now we all now that I'm not a runner, or at least by triathlon standards I'm not a runner, but out there in the 'real' world I'm not too shabby. I completed the first run in 6:33, it took 5:22 to complete the 100 sit ups and 100 dorsal raise (the time being taken ensuring the dorsal raise were completed slowly and with good technique, rather than the average gym monkey who bangs them out without any regard for form or potential for injury) and then 6:41 to complete the second run. I was particularly pleased with that second run.

I followed that up with 20 minutes of stretch and flex, so a good morning's work.

Tomorrow I hope to do another CrossFit session in the morning and then sit on the turbo in the afternoon watching the England v Scotland rugby. I do feel that its all coming together now and I'm really enjoying my training; maybe not as much cycling as I would like but then I'm in this for pleasure, so I'm sure I can live with that.

All the best
