OK, so it’s only 4 weeks now and I’m as ready as I can be. 7th August seems to have come around incredibly quickly but I’ve been training hard (well, quite hard) and working on not making a complete fool of myself. Now though, I’m quite looking forward to it.

I’ve realised that during this process that watching YouTube videos of the Elite competitors in order to improve my transitions, is not going to help me a jot. Mainly because they are running to collect their bikes and changing shoes in nano-seconds, while I fear I will be gasping for breath, vomiting and trying not to die.

If anyone would like to sponsor me, I’m raising money for Keech Hospice – a great charity

I’ll let you know how it goes !
