Bernard has been less grief this week, although this weekend should have been all about the marathon down in South Devon. Gutted I could not be there exerting myself, so the countdown to the next one starts now: 5 weeks! God I hope all will be hunky-dory ready for the big day on the Sussex coast.
My new wheels for my MTB have turned-up so I've put them on with a new 8 speed cassette to speed-up the overall ride and hopefully push myself harder and faster on my rides... The bike I ride is a right hotch-potch as I have built it from scratch, with bits being updated as I go along. With these wheels it is nearly at completion for a general road and off-road set-up. Just a new flat-bar, seat post and bar-ends to go.
So as a consequence, training has seen more cycling and swimming this week - bit boring really innit!
My footy team had a cup semi final, which unfortunately did not go as we had all hoped! From 20 minutes on they were truly chasing the game having gone 3 goals down... The 15 minutes before and after the break were bossed by us and the score was pulled back to 3-2, but shortly after a deflected shot looped over our keeper to put the opposition 2 goals to the good again. With just the result that matters in a cup tie, we had no choice but to risk everything in attacking and unfortunately paid the price... Ending up on the receiving end of a shellacking. At least a pants-drop was avoided by keeping the score below 10: The final score at 8-2.

| Proper Sunday league here: As you can see there is underway an inspirational team-talk by a leader of men with all in rapt attention ;) and is that the goalie having a crafty half-time ciggy? |

| Ball crossed in from the right about to be driven in to the bottom right corner to make it 1-3 |
