Just round the corner

I realised I haven’t posted anything for over two weeks! So I’ll try to give a quick brief of what happened so far.

Two weeks ago we finished the last portion of intensive training and started a tapering phase.  During the two weeks of tapering we reduced training hours drastically in order to reduce stress on the body in preparation for the challenge.  Reduced training hours gave me the opportunity to prepare for the trip itself … buying a sleeping mat, travelling pillow, cold weather, cycling clothes, energy bars, energy drinks etc.  So I guess I can be forgiven for not posting items on the blog :p

Last Sunday we had our last Sunday ride which took us to the familiar roads of Mgarr, Pwales, St. Paul’s bypass and Burmarrad.  After about 100km, I was off to pack my bike for shipping …

… that didn’t go as expected.  Had a problem undoing one of the pedals and to cut the long story short I had to miss putting the bike on the truck. Needless to say, was quite stressed about this, and now I needed to fix the pedal and then pack it for transport in the plane.

Which brings me to the last day before leaving … Friday the thirteenth!  Thankfully, nothing went wrong but everything took me ages to finish and ended up finishing all my chores sleeping at midnight … not ideal, but not too bad

Before sleeping I realised, the LifeCycle challenge 2010 is just round the corner … and I’m in it
