Victoria Pendleton in the Times

There's a good article about my favourite Olympic gold medal winning cyclist, Victoria Pendleton, in today's Times.

It would appear that the work involved to win a gold medal is no fun at all:

"What I look forward to most is a life where I don’t feel guilty about what I am eating, I don’t choose meals for their carbohydrate and protein content and constantly check the clock worrying that I need to eat something. I want to watch a late programme on television without worrying whether I have had enough sleep and go shopping for new shoes without worrying about getting tired. At the moment I live in a state of constant guilt. I want a life without guilt."

And apparently she is "the cover girl for a forthcoming issue of FHM".

Um...

Sorry, drifted off there for a moment. I might have to buy that issue...

Victoria Pendleton wants more cycling events

There's an article about Victoria Pendleton (MBE!) in today's Sunday Mail. In it she points out that she is limited in the number of events she can compete in because of her gender.

While Hoy, who was knighted in the New Year Honours, was able to fight for a hat-trick of gold medals, Pendleton was restricted to just one race because the Olympics limit the number of women's cycling events.

Fair enough.

The whole article is linked below.

Victoria Pendleton

OK, I really couldn't care less about sport, but at the risk of being a typical male I will make an exception for Victoria Pendleton.

Victoria won a cycling gold medal at the Beijing 2012 Olympics. This weekend she's won three more golds at the Track Cycling World Cup in Manchester.

Obligatory photo follows.



Yep, typical male...
