6 days to go!!!

Exactly one week to go!!!!

Nothing more I can do now 

But I can cock it all up with panic training, not eating / drinking / sleeping well this week and not making sure I’m well prepared for my Nottingham weekend. 

I’m so excited but also very nervous. 

I know I can do each leg within the cutoffs

I’m planning on being no more than 10mins in each transition.

I’m going to eat and drink my way round the course.

#YouVeGotThis xx

Ashtead Park walk with Nessie this afternoon. 

No blackberries yet but it was utterly gorgeous xx

8 days to go!!

And now I’m thinking this time next week I’ll be in Nottingham, racked and registered. And then I think and this time 3 years ago I was learning how to walk again. 

Last long run - off to The Barn for a cuppa with Becky. We shared a cookie 🍪 

10k 1:25

I’m ready xx

9 days to go - my bike is amazing

Got my bike back from Velo Care. 

OMG - Suzanne’s wheels are the swimming equivalent of fins. I had a 37min cycle around Southampton before heading up to mums. The bike rode like a dream. Let’s see what happens next Sunday but those wheels may well give me 20+ mins on the bike. So happy. 

My brick run was very short but glad I went out.

Pretty sure I’ve decided on my run kit. Will be running in it tomorrow to see how it feels 

Great STC swim session this morning at Oaklands 

I felt so sluggish but did nearly 2k 🥳

10 days to go!!!

Eeeek

It’ll be fine 🤣🤗

11 days to go / 3 year anniversary

Watering at the allotment

1st day of Graduation for UoS

Drinks in the Cowherds after work

55min cycle home

England lost

3 years since being knocked off my bike.

I was in A&E having loads of tests this time 3 years ago and now I’m 11 days away from The Outlaw. 

It’s rather fabulous tbh xx

12 days to go

Watered the allotment 

Signed off by Max at Jonathan Clarke Physiotherapy - I’m in great shape and physically able to do an IM

Bought a wetsuit - mine is too big. Got the medium, it’s okay - will try it out at Ellingham on Monday when I swim with Charlotte 

Waited till after 9pm to go for a run - still so hot. 

5.9k in 50:16 which is 8:32mins per km. Def fast enough for the cutoffs 

Watered gardens 

Chilled 

Bike is being serviced so should get that back this week 

It’s all getting very close and very real xx
