• I've had a shit couple of weeks. Actually probably since Mike was killed I've been very lack lustre in my preparations for this race, unlike most people, his death knocked my motivation to ride quite a bit.

    Weeks just gone been working 14hr days and mentally not up for pushing it, not on training rides anyway. This weekend I just couldn't handle leaving on Fri then on Sat morning woke up still full of snot from a throat infection.
    Basically I'm a tale of woe at the moment and I'm hoping I'll snap the fuck out of it soon.
    I will be racing TABR but I will also still be fat, sorry, my -10kg plan failed miserably.

  • Sorry to hear you are having a shit time. For something like tabr I reckon what you've done over x years makes more difference than a month of last minute training. And when you get on the start line you'll be motivated by that. I'm sure you'll be competitive!

  • Cheers man, I know I'll still be up the field and just finishing it will be pretty good but I'd put higher expectations on this and training ain't delivering. Much the same as LEJOG in '14.
    I'm going to lock in the 600 this weekend with a no-guilt bail-out option if it's going badly. At the very least it will let me test some kit changes.
