Tallships on their way for the weekend’s events.

Well worth a read. A fascinating study.

First run since marathon coming up…

Tennis time…

I’ve got a lot of paperwork to catch up on…!

Saturday afternoon, after a bike ride through town. Lovely.

Amsterdam.

Royal Victoria Dock, London. Venue for today’s swim. Loads of fun.

nice stencil on a wall in Hendon a couple of weeks back

WHAT A FUCKING IMPECCABLE RANGE OF HEADWEAR IN THIS SHOT.
BIG GLASSES: CHECK. HEADBAND: CHECK. WINTER HAT: CHECK. CAPS WORN PROPERLY: CHECK. SAUSAGE HELMETS: CHECK… AND THE ULTRA-RARE CAPS OVER SAUSAGE HELMETS: CHECK.
IF THIS WAS BINGO I’D HAVE A FULL FUCKING HOUSE.
THE DISDAIN AND CONTEMPT ON THE ARIOSTEA DUDE’S FACES SHOW THEY KNOW THEY’VE COME CORRECT. ALL THAT’S LEFT IS TO CALCULATE HOW THEY’RE GONNA BLOW THE FIELD APART.
I THINK I FOUND THIS ON BONEDETH.

Any psychological significance in this number?

Managed to forget my Garmin charger, so this will be my new timekeeping pal at tomorrow’s race here in Paris. What a debut!

The timeline for Olympic volunteers. When you get to your interview, you’ll find out all about this in great detail.

This is at Luton Airport. Modern day extortion.

“The Great Wave off Kanagawa also known as The Great Wave or simply The Wave, is a woodblock print by the Japanese artist Hokusai. An example of ukiyo-e art, it was published sometime between 1830 and 1833 as the first in Hokusai’s series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji and is his most famous work.
This particular woodblock is one of the most recognized works of Japanese art in the world. It depicts an enormous wave threatening boats near the Japanese prefecture of Kanagawa. While sometimes assumed to be a tsunami, the wave is, as the picture’s title notes, more likely to be a large okinami lit. “wave of the open sea.” As in all the prints in the series, it depicts the area around Mount Fuji under particular conditions, and the mountain itself appears in the background.”
The footage of that horrific Tsunami reminded me of this painting 😦
I hope all the Japanese Tumblr users are safe and well, it’s been such a terrible day.

THERE IS SO MUCH MID-90S BADNESS GOING ON HERE. NO SURPRISE NOBODY COULD STEP TO BIG MIG.
SO FUCKING TOUGH A SOVIET FIGHTER JET WAS NAMED AFTER HIM.
CYCLING’S EQUIVALENT OF ARNIE IN BLACK LEATHER AND SHADES ON A FUCKING HARLEY.
