Cannondale Slice 105
Yesterday afternoon, after struggling to find time and place and everything in-between to get some riding done on the new bike, I finally gave up, set it up on the turbo and tried doing an aero ride for 1 hour while having Alice in Wonderland playing on the television. It was raining in the most horrendous of ways - hard and uncontrollable and so much that trying to bike in that weather would probably have resulted in <over-dramatic>me crashing and waking up unable to remember my name and then I would’ve wandered the earth looking for my place all over again</over-dramatic>.
This morning of course, the sun is out, even if there are some dark clouds looming in the distance.
I’m sat inside, having had a night of tossing and turning, considering going for a swim, even if now it is too late to go until this afternoon.
Training kicked into a new gear, or shall I say, start, yesterday. Its about time. I now only have 9 weeks to ensure that I can finish the Outlaw with a smile - there just never is a doubt that I’ll finish. I’ll just have to walk if I can’t run.
Speaking of which, fundraiser time has kicked in.
This year, I’m raising funds for the Midlands Air Ambulance Charity.
You can find my fundraising page here: http://www.justgiving.com/IronKarin
Midlands Air Ambulance Charity is responsible for funding and operating three Air Ambulances serving the Midlands and Welsh border region. Flying its first mercy mission in 1991, the organisation is regarded as one of the longest established and busiest Air Ambulance operators in the UK.
It is not always fully appreciated that Midlands Air Ambulance is funded solely by the public and local businesses. They receive no government money or National Lottery funding. The generosity of the public helps to raise the £6 million required each year to ensure our three helicopters remain operational, so please consider making a donation.

And so the FIFA world cup starts and with that reasonable men turn into couch-hugging, beer-chugging idiots that scream at the television at any moment that seems right.
