So chaps, we decided yesterday that we'd be entering the Forest of Dean Enduro race on the 25th of September - exactly 2 months away. I'm still not sure whether I'm going in as part of the AMBS team [I'd like to!] or as an individual, but one thing is for sure: I'm definitely doing it!
In an effort to not embarrass myself on the day, I thought I'd try to make more of an effort on the fitness front. Plus, as extra motivation, I've decided to keep you guys up to date with my progress via the blog.

Today, I set a new PB over a 15 mile road ride on the Halfords. Previous best was a 13.5 mph average speed. Today, it was up to 14.5 which is good progress, although I was very lucky with the traffic lights.

My diet was fairly crap but very tasty: one of Lucy's lovely picnics in Twycross Zoo involving ham and cheese, Wotsits and homemade flapjack. In the evening I stuck to pasta, chicken and broccoli...and a bottle of beer.

Current weight: 10st 7lbs.

Had a good chat with Louise, the lovely triathlete coach, on the phone tonight. She was telling me all about nutrition and how protein is more important for us guys than carbs! More chicken and less spuds for me then!
