Great news about the bike and more importantly the trailer.

Without this chap kindly stumping up the offer I'd no way be able to afford a new trailer... Well - I was going to sell the Ordu to fund it.

And yes - I am competitive - very. I just get nervous about failure believe it or not. :oops:

Nobody likes to fail, but you don't know where the edge is until you fall off it, I would rather see someone try and then fail, than someone who is a success all of the time. Failure is a great leveller, if we take it to the extreme, we would do one event once, and never do it again, so as to maintain a PB, that will never change. But doing the same event, or run, or bike ride on different days produces too many variables,wind, rain,heat,traffic, company, so each one is different and therefore each one creates a PB. Therefore failure does not occur.

Each time is independant, and as you did at school, you introduce, experimental error.So you can look at each event as both an individual, stand alone, or grouped as a comparative.

If no one failed, then the top of the podium would be very crowded, if you quantify failure as producing a performance that was not as good as the preceeding one, then you will burn out, fade away, and just sit mumbling in the corner.

By comparing with others,or yourself, then progress can be made. :D

Just raced three armed coppers up 22 flights of stairs in a tower block - they were armoured up to the max carrying christ knows what weapons and me in body armour carrying 36kgs of kit.

I can tell you I havent been that exhausted in a long time. Took my HR at the top ( once we realised that someone hadnt been shot) and it was 219 :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

The walk back down was painful too. Thge lactate was killing and I was all wobbly. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Tower running is great! I hope they organise one at the Shard one day.

I have put on half a stone in the last 3 weeks :o :shock: Beer , incredibly greedy on the food front. 4000+ calories a day easily. I must have eaten a months worth of food on holiday in 6 days!

My washboard abdo is hiding ! I hate it.

This is bad. Forcing myself swimming tomorrow am. Might get the bikes out the loft too. And or an insnity month of one a Day.

Dangerous times and I'm not having it.

Time to get back on it.
