The 11th hour!

This'll be my last post before the race, the last 11 months of my life have been geared towards this Sunday. Sometimes it's hard to believe it is actually here, other times I remember and feel mighty nervous. This week is all about rest and food (I've covered tapers in a previous post) and getting mentalyl ready for when the going gets tough, which it most certainly will. There is without doubt an element of the unknown for me. I've trained damn hard but missed several key bricks through injury so haven't had all the time I would like to practice my nutrition, nothing that can be done about that now.

Those who know me know what my goals are for this race and for once I won't post these until after race (race report should follow on Monday at the latest). All that remains now is to wish everyone who is racing good luck and for me to say thank you to all those friends and family who have supported me (read: put up with me) for the last few months. Also another HUGE thank you to the Bike Whisperer who game me mechanical support when I needed it most as well as passing on advice and knowledge which someone with my experience could never have acquired.
Finally, let us all pray to the god of weather because at the moment it looks like the swim is going to be the driest leg...

Impossible is nothing...
