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

Onwards & Upwards

The results of Sunday's sportive have been published and I finished 61st out of 159 male finishers over the 88 mile route. The organisers have readjusted the standards meaning I was in the Bronze category, but only just. My ride buddies did really well; Andy IM got gold, Jockey John and Hamish got silver. So well done guys, I promise to HTFU! I had a rest day on Monday and at lunchtime today I did a 15 minute easy session on the rower followed by some core, stretch and flex. This evening it was back to the CrossFit gym for today's WOD, 3 rounds for time of: Run 800 meters 50 Back Extensions 50 Sit-ups I managed this in 18:55 that I was very pleased with (especially as I whooped my 17-year old son's ass by over 3 minutes!). I also had a piece of cake this afternoon to celebrate being free from oppressive long distance sporting commitments. As I said in the title, onwards and upwards! Train smart folks.
