I'm coming out to play!
Asuming my new bike's all ready to roll of course. With a week to go should I be concerned? Hmm…..
I'm a long way from "the professionals" and my computer told me I didn't actually stop for the first 8hrs of the last 24 I did (rolling pit stops, hell yeah!) there was then some stopping to fit lights, a few <20second stops for water & food between rolling stops and few stops on the course to have a wee and a single, 4min, stop for a brief leg rub and to settle a very nauseous stomach when I was at my absolute lowest point. And I'm just a doing-it-for-fun-ist!
If you want to see how it's done, watch 224 Solo. The guy who won, now he knows how to push himself and we can all learn a lesson about what being really tired is from him!
Can't wait, everyone should have a crack at one of these. The competitor list is pretty intensely fierce though, just a top 10 finish is going to be super hard, and there's podium talk up there!
