Right. The eve of the last event.
I suddenly dawned on me that I should have finished the season after the OD back on the 10th. I've been sore and generally on the verge of brokenness since. Hamstring has been niggling. Neck has been very sore. Felt tired enough at the weekend that I decided that some hardcore not-doing-anything was really what was required. Managed a little bit of yoga this week, and that was it. I probably should have had a quick spin on the bike when the opportunity arose on Tuesday, but I wasn't feeling at all well. So didn't. Maybe a bit of a swim last night would have been the right thing to do. But too stressed and tired to bother.
32 hours of "activity" in July, 11 hours in August. 0 in September. Taper?
Objectives for tomorrow: 1) Survive 2) Enjoy it. 3) hope to get back before it is dark. I shall almost certainly fail at at least one of these goals.
The run course is 3 "laps" - except they are actually 3 out and back runs with only about 750m as a loop. So plenty of time for a natter as we go past each other.
jon.e will have worked out exactly where I need to overtake him to win by 15 minutes. I am not even going to bother
