The guy’s a champ. The tests were negative. The testimonies are strong. So which way to vote? It’s easy to go with US Anti Doping Agency (USADA). They’ve produced a 1000 page report on Lance and his doping ways. Wow, someone must have it really in for him. Why him? Why take away the fame… Read More
I’d love to report a great training week with lots of cycling, running and swimming but it’s not happening for me. I’m not sure what happened at the beginning of the week.

Mon 1/10PM: 40 min run (7km)Does running for the train count as fitness? I made it in record time, 4 minutes from leaving the office to running down the station steps just as the train was pulling in. Usually it takes closer to ten, now I’m puffed and looking forward to getting home 20 minutes… Read More
This afternoon I went into the nutrition store to buy some energy gels for tomorrow’s 100km Brisbane to Gold Coast Cycle Challenge. The guy serving me asked, ‘have you just come from a yoga class. You look so chilled.” I almost laughed. No such thing on the agenda today. But his comment made me realise… Read More
