4 Days....
Can’t believe there’s only 4 days to go now.
The pieces are all coming together though– new tyres (will bring, not install from the outset), gel saddle cover on order! (Just in case), training miles being racked up, sheer panic setting in……
Yes, all coming together nicely.

Quick Speed Interval
After a bad session on Saturday, which I take full responsibility for, I thought better redeem myself and feel better by putting in a good session.
Took my favourite route of the moment down through Strathconon to the Meig Dam and the returned via Loch Achilty (My new swimming pool in the next few weeks), Contin and Marybank. 27 miles which were quite hard going on the way out as a stiff headwind. Return was a bit of a hit and miss with wind direction. But some assistance in sections which felt good.
Back to the Muir and the hill home. No real issues other than the first section over the Meig Dam. Called Lumpy Bumpy on Strava. Was adamant I wanted a PB so nailed it. However, it don't get its name for being a smooth road. Very pot-holed and gravelly. Lost back end 1 time and front end unsteady, all I saw was a fast approaching tree and a sharp drop into a deep ravine. How I saved it and never went down, I have no idea, but all I do know is I got my PB!!! 1 Mile in 2:34. :-)
Dinner now, but what shall I have?? Chicken me thinks
