I’d set myself a target of getting down to 72kgs, which happened last week \ud83d\ude42 My coach Adrian’s first advice last year before I started training for the 2008 Europeans was ‘stodge we need to something about your power to weight ratio’<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 Well I have now and there is still a little more to come !
\nI thought some comparisons might be useful just to add a reminder of\u00a0quite\u00a0how much weight that is if I start to put it back on again.<\/p>\n

10.5 kg is the weight of my current race mountain bike !
