I have officially parted ways with Lance, the bromance is
over. Make no doubt about it, I was pretty fascinated
with Lance and totally marvelled at his perseverance.
The fact is , it has become difficult
for me to support a plight based on a foundation of now obvious corruption and
scandal. What Lance is terming as a “witch
hunt” is hardly believable anymore. There are just too many colleagues pointing
the finger. I find it hard to believe so
many would call him out just for shits and giggles. I like what I hear from the majority of the peloton
today though when asked about it, the reply is often that was then,
its history, carry on. Today’s rider is a new
breed, clean, fit and fast. Sure, I might be a tad naïve, but I choose to take the positive road
today, and I do believe the circuit has
cleaned up its act. I don’t want
to miss quote Simon Whitfield,
but I think he mentioned somewhere that he actually felt bad for
him. I would say that’s what I am left
with today as well. How can you not
really. Here is a guy that came back from the brink, kicked death in the teeth and has continued
to fight hard for so many others. I don’t
know how he is going to live with this on his conscience. I hope in the end, the truth comes out
In
regards to the comeback trail over in my camp,
all is very well. Three days In the books and feeling great. The physio regime I am rocking is pictured on
the right. Five exercises and some
stationary pedaling. It may not seem like much, but trust me,
it is for the shape I’m in. Lots of reps, basically working to fatigue. My left side had half of the strength of the
right. I’ve lost it all. The danger here now is coming back too strong
too early on a frame that is not fit to take it. Long way to go, but I will get there. I’ll know on November 13th
if I can start rocking the run again.
The focus now is diet and fitnessIf you can, watch the Ironman World Championship on Sunday via a live stream. It doesn't get any better then this battle on that battleground!
