Thursday 24 February 2011 (7 Days Left)


Seven days left to get fit!  The hard work has been done?  I'm starting my tapering - the gradual reduction in training effort to ensure I turn up at the start line fresh.  I kicked this off with a tad over 30 miles in the saddle today.  That's less mileage than yesterday so tapering has started well.

Questions and answers at the rider briefing

I also attended the riders briefing at Aedas's offices where I learnt the full horror of what lies ahead.

I was presented with my team jersey (team Bluefin) and a rider booklet that lays out the route over 26 pages!  Each page includes a helpful elevation/distance graph - at a glance these are a little spiky - what have I done?
