Well...you could attempt to hold her head under the water at your local swimming baths and wait for her lungs to fill up with the chlorinated blue liquid, or simpler still, push her into the Thames whilst you're on a romantic boat cruise. This kind of sociopathic behaviour will rightly loose you you're girlfriend and ensure you do a very lengthy jail term for attempted murder. However, a totally legal method of limiting the amount of oxygen she can absorb and deliver to crucial body parts can be performed if you both have bikes. Simple. She sits on your wheel (assuming she's not Nicole Cooke et al) while you trundle along at close to 20mph around Regent's Park for lap after lap. She'll possible mutter unspeakables under her breath about you and look really breathless (not in a good way!) when you have to stop at the traffic lights.
The template for this rather risky couple behaviour was set by Chris Baldwin from Eagle RC. If you've seen his girlfriend Liz Chittenden (Eagle RC) racing at Hog Hill race you'll know how successful dragging your partner around at above club run pace can be. Liz having started as a complete novice race has become a Cat 2 racer in less than three months.
Steph's doesn't have Liz's Triathlon background but still has lofty aims which I'm not at liberty to mention. Indeed she actually puts more pressure on herself in terms of cycling goals than I ever would. Nevertheless our joint training sessions went well and she put in a gallant effort whilst I put her through that threshold training malarkey that I keep banging on about. I don't ever recall seeing so many people on bikes at Regents Park on a spring evening so for close to and ninety minutes it was great fun. At least I think it was, right Steph?
