'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

British Sportsmen to be proud of
We seem really good at putting our sportsmen and women down, so today was a great day for Britain.
So named because I used to enjoy hard session on the turbo trainer; but no more. I still use the turbo for occasional interval sessions but you're more likely to find me at the CrossFit gym nowadays, or actually out and about on the bike.
I'm also a follower of the Primal Blueprint, although have a few too many non-primal treats to consider myself a devotee. Chocolate, cake, ice cream and red wine are all part of a healthy diet, but only in small doses of course!
