Around about four songs in after the first set of sprints I
knew it was not going to go well if I kept on going for the full class. The cold (man flu) that had been knocking
around all week had finally knocked me for six in the morning and it was hard
work even climbing the stairs to the met stop.
Donning the all in one tiger suit had seemed like a good idea a week
earlier but as I sat down after the first climb sweat trickling down the inside
of the suit I knew I should have listened to the little voice screaming all
week DON’T WEAR THE TIGER SUIT YOU WILL COOK in my head. Instead I decided to get off the bike and
torture the Swim Trafford kids with a really hard set whilst trying to stand
around where the two massive fans where situated. Everyone enjoyed the session and we raised a
really outstanding £87.90. Big thanks to
James ‘Lance Armstrong’ Stannard for getting everyone involved.

As I inferred earlier on in the piece the man flu has really
taken its toll this week. From Wednesday
I couldn’t face the bike and Thursday and Friday should have resulted in some
mileage but they did not. The commute on
Saturday and Sunday has been torture.
Both days saw the weather teasing me.
I woke up to dry roads and reasonable skies but by 06:30 it was pissing
it down all the way through until I arrived at work. Cold, wet and lungs of fire from the cold. It would be really nice if I don’t get ill
before the ride in June *fingers crossed*.
Also hoping for some more decent training weather and good weather for
the ride. It would be really nice for
the ride not to turn into a slog.
Two of last weeks goals have been achieved. No takeaways and no booze. There is a bottle of Baileys (Mint flavoured)
in the fridge so I am trying to resist and so far it is working. Anyone want to claim it lol? The gym sessions still have not materialised
as I can’t seem to find time and the extra riding didn’t happen due to the
lurgy! I will definitely try the same
again this week and a gym session somewhere!
A week today will see the Charity Race Evening kindly
organised by Miss Weatherilt and her young man.
It should be a really fun night so please come down and support us!
This week has seen a total amount raised of £50
and an overall total now of £1239, which is a remarkable
83% of the overall total needed! The
spinning money has been added to the event money, which will be split between
Mark and I in a few weeks. That total is
standing at £300. If you want to make a
donation you can still do so at www.charitygiving.co.uk/jamescrossland
We also still have raffle tickets left for our 50/50 draw. If you would like some of these please call,
text, facebook, twitter, email or comment me and I will get back to you as soon
as possible!!
