Ran the London marathon today. It was hot, and I finished 12 mins slower than planned – more importantly, 2.5 mins outside the 4 hour mark.
Will try and write a full post later.
It’s done.

Bike Racks We Like!
New York City’s Department of Transportation held a design competition for bike racks. David Byrne, one of the judges in the competition, designed these special racks tailored to specific neighbourhoods of the city. We, love them.
Here are all nine bike racks: (Images by Incubed on smugmug)
The Hipster – In Williamsburg
The Ladies’ Mile – On 5th Avenue.
The Jersey. (Location: 9th Av, 39th St)
The Olde Times Square. (Location: 44th St & 7th Av)
The Chelsea. (Location: 25th St,10th & 11th Av)
The Coffee Cup – Amsterdam Av., near The Hungarian Pastry Shop
The Villager. (Location: La Guardia Place)
The MoMA – Near, well, the Museum of Modern Art
The Wall Street. (Location: where else?)

On Winning.
“When I first started, winning was a bonus, you know? Now anything but a win is a loss. That’s how things have changed. I no longer win races, I lose races and that really changes not just my perception of things but the team’s perception of things”
Asked to articulate the difference in mindset between his first and one hundredth wins, Cavendish offered a moment of genuine insight into the expectations that have built up around him since his maiden win as a raw 21-year-old in at Scheldeprijs in 2007.
