It's the thought that counts....................

The Ironman claims the award of the shortest training session so far............. at least until last night when his record was smashed.

Bigman booked a spin session for last night at Cowdenbeath Leisure Centre while there for footie on Sunday. The intention was good, the passion was present, but the body was not.

Work required an extended stay in the cake filled lawyers offices which meant the training stint did not even start let alone finish early.

It is going to be a tough training week this week with social events on Tuesday, Wedenesday, Thursday and Friday evenings.

Where is the commitment?

Answer - training is hard to fit in around other life events. That's the reality.

It makes you respect , even more, the dedication of amateur athletes reaching international success. No danger for teh Bigman there!
