I must say that I have been really bad at updating my blog in the recent weeks! This does not mean that I have not been on the bike. Have had a really great time out and about. A mechanical problem (read broken spoke) kept me off the bike on the weekend - but I made up for it in the gym with some running, core strength and some serious strength intervals on the spinning bike. I really did enjoy it!

What is really great as we taper down for Sani2C - REST Days on the training schedule. Aaaaaa, the joy of sleeping in! Even when my daughter wakes up at 06h30 it seems like the middle of the day ;) Rest needs to be respected at this stage of the training - The difficulty is staying off the bike on rest days - I do feel guilty. Silly, I know but when you have been training like this the rest days just seem odd!

Well for Sani2C we are seeded in K-Group - anyone else in the same group?

I am starting compiling lists for the Epic - lists, lists lists. Packing lists, To Buy Lists, To Do before I go Lists. Got to love Excel! I found a great list that covers everything needed for the Epic - now just to decide what not to pack!

Anyway - got another 3hr planned for tomorrow am - it is certainly getting darker - I am battling to recognize my partner on the road in the morning - I nearly rode past him in the dark this morning! 2hrs on Thursday, 3hrs on Friday, 5hrs on Saturday and a social ride on Sunday. The following week will be very easy leading up to Sani2C.

Way too many exclamations in this post, must stay off the coffee...
