Five Sleeps…

Not long now and I really can’t wait to get started, I’m even more excited about the trip than ever before, and have even started chalking down the countdown.
After the previous weeks separate episodes with a Ford Escort driver and Royal Mail truckee, and following some nervous re-confidence runs, I soon got back to routine and knocked out some valuable mileage last week. But training is well and truely over, all bar a few chore’s have been dealt with and I’ve started gathering a few more invaluable lasagne pounds to ensure I don’t waste away next week, my days in the backs are surely numbered, front row here I come.
I’m focussing now on a little relaxation and life enjoyment before the departure, although
I did do some a short stint this morning to loosen those legs and briefly cycled with the British Triathlon team, well I tried anyway, they caught me on a hill and cruised past me with seemingly no effort what so ever, go Britain go in 2012, Beijing or whenever.
Right, no rest for the wicked, better get back to the packing.
