Turbo Man's Fitness Blog: Is it really almost 2 weeks ...

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

Is it really almost 2 weeks ...

... since I last blogged? Apparently so. But never mind, not a great deal to report really other than I really enjoyed the Odiham sprint and am looking forward to more in 2012.

I've not done any swimming or cycling since Odiham but have done a lot of CrossFit and things are certainly getting better, focusing on technique before adding weight.

I must start cycling again soon as the IOW 100-mile sportive is only a month away!

With that cross-dressing regime you are generating significant metabolic headroom so 100 miles on the bike won't be an issue (other than saddle soreness most likely).

Trust me! I just rode 450 miles in 6 days, 18 TdF Cols, 35,000 feet of climbing on minimal carbs (if you ignore the Hariob afternoon on the Tourmalet!) and I was just fine off a weekly ride for the previous few weeks (cough, months!).

See, haven't you missed my comments :-); 26 June 2011 at 13:12
