With less than 6 days to go, I am well into my taper, prepping my body for Sunday 14th #IM703STAFFS.
I’ve started the big R&R to shed any fatigue and so far I am feeling good – with only a slight niggle behind my right knee, and a twinge in my left elbow – but overall, I am hoping that by Thursday, my body is going to be fully recovered ready for race day! Over the last 6months I have given my body a bit of a hammering, and I am really pleased to have come this far injury-free.
To say I am nervous is true – but to say I am excited is an understatement.
Only 5 days, & 16-odd hours to go!

Same – just want to get on and do it now!

1791 – off at 8.10. Agreed, survive and enjoy. The beer after (maybe a few hours after) will be glorious.

Unlikely to see you post-swim, and during the ride (unless the wheels fall off [the bike or me]..!) – but I will defo keep my eyes out for you on the run – 3 laps so poss will see you at some point!
I would love a beer, but alas I am the designated driver….!!!
Either way – best of luck! 🙂
