This was pretty hard work. I think the cumulative effort/stress from the Welsh 400+200 AAAs at Easter, then the Belgian 24hr then coming back to conference and then 2 days to prep for this meant I started pretty flat. The weather was glorious on day one, which helped but it was freezing at night so my bivvy stop was rubbish which then meant day 2, which pissed down all day, was doubly grim. I was in a better frame of mind after a sit down feed and then got to Comrie for a proper feed and sleep. It was a damp start but cleared up on day 3 so that was pretty beautiful day but my shin tendon flared up, having worn long socks and leg warmers for 2 days - that killed any speed I had left as I had to nurse it around. The last day was just a kind of "get it done" down to the finish while nursing the leg. Late train meant some chit chat with the other riders - everyone getting applause on their finish which was a nice touch. Couple of beers and then 9pm train home.

Looks class, well done! Can't get my head around multi-day efforts like that, one little ride around Kent and I'm fucked for days. Need to htfu I guess.
