Chris wrote this during the Vuelta last year and I'm so glad we were able to bring it to the wider world.

I think it sums up so much about cycling and elite sport in general. It's not supposed to be easy, embrace the challenge and push your boundaries.

The way England are playing, Ireland could come away with a win, a bonus point and the six counties back.

Thank you. I will take a look.

Thank you 🫶

I primarily eat plant based, but I do eat some fish. I also take supplements most days to bump it up.

I thought I had it fixed, too. I have dramatically increased my iron intake through diet but it's obviously not enough. Hoping I can finally figure it out.

Ergh, I am sorry you have to deal with that, too. Why do our bodies have to make things so difficult sometimes. 😫

Here's hoping for both of us.

I hope you get your levels to a good place soon. I am going to see the doctor next week to see if we csn figure out why mine keeps plummeting.

Anaemia friends 🙌 It's such a pain, isn't it. I have spent 8 months in the last two years taking iron supplements and it just never seems to stick.

I have had quite the eventful day. Went running in the rain, then finally managed to close out the claim on my car, and got diagnosed with anaemia for the eleventy billionth time in the last three years. 😮‍💨

Incredible riding from Mauro and Paul 🔥 textbook performance 👏 #TourofOman

These people are grotesque. Absolute pure evil.

So happy for Monica, brilliant ride and first WT podium 👐 #UAETourWomen

Oh, interesting. Then yes I can imagine the European use of whistling at sporting events would come as a culture shock.

I am curious, what does it mean in the US?

Running was never something I thought I would enjoy. I only started doing it just over 18 months ago. At first, I pushed through because the challenge was enticing but now I actually look forward to my runs, which is something I don't want to lose.

I am doing my best not to increase my distances by too much each week. My long runs were consistently at 10km before I starting this process so right now it's only a minor increase. I am following a plan by Nike Run Club, so hoping that will get me through injury free.

Wow, a 30km hill run sounds intense. Good luck with it! 8km is no mean feat, either. I am concious of not wanting to ruin the fun of it for myself so I don't want to completely torture myself on my runs to get a certain pace.

I have tried to get out of my own head about pace and just focus on getting what I need to done. I am doing most of these distances for the first time, I am not going to be super fast.

Banked my longest ever run today. Still pushing myself way beyond what I ever thought I could do. I am not fast by any means but I am doing it and that's the main thing.

I am never not impressed by Elisa Longo Borghini. #UAETourWomen

I am going to do a test run this spring. I started in January and I am just over a quarter of s eay through a 14-week plan. That will hopefully have me running a half in April and then I can get some normal running in before starting the build up again around June to do the event in October.

They are a Manx local company so don't operate outside of the IOM. The briker is Blackfords and the Insurer is Intact (formerly Tower). It's basically impossible to get away from Tower on the island but I will be switching broker when I get the chance.

Hahs. I will probably do that, too.

I got it a while ago, too, and it was far from fun.

One saving grace is I wasn't in the car at the time. I was indoors making my lunch at the time. Wouldn't have liked to deal with whiplash as well.

Haha. It sort of is a real thing as you can get pet insurance but I don't think there's a specific cat insurance 😅

Thank you. They said they would try to have an answer for me by Monday so I am hoping. There's a chance the car could be written off because of the damage but I can't do anything until I know what they will do.
