Joining the Gym

October 20th, 2003 by Ollie

Well autumn is definitly here - it’s difficult to believe it was 38 degrees celsius two months ago, it’s now near freezing at nights. Autumn is also when the UK orienteering season really gets going, with a National event in the New Forest in November.

With that in mind, and a long, lazy slumber in New York now a distant memory, I finally got around to joining the gym at work. The other option I could see myself doing was biking around London, but the London driver ethic is
definitely still not in the bicyclists’ favour, despite Ken’s best efforts. The watch-a-DVD-while-biking in the gym is definitely preferable, as is having all the kit and clothes provided!

It wasn’t just a case of signing the joining forms though - at the medical my heart rate and blood pressure was quite a bit higher than it should be so I’ll have to have another check soon.
