T-10 big week planned at the tour of wessex

---

Big weekend at the tour of wessex sportive…

When I was mapping out the year, this coming  weekend was marked as a key session.  Am I ready?

T-11 – keep going!!!

normal week, a turbo and a 200k audax.

T-12 – Fuck. Fuck. Fuck! FUCK!!!!!

How can I be feeling like a frightened bunny 3 months out?

FUCK! FUCK! FUCKETY FUCK!

As a way of handling this I have created a list.  It’s quite long.
So I just need to start knocking some things off…..
However I am still have a racing heart whenever I think too deeply about this.

T-13 – Wheels have arrived!

Front:- Son delux dynamo hub, sapim x-ray bladed spokes, Pacenti SL25 rims.
Rear: Tune Kong hub,  sapim x-ray bladed spokes, Pacenti SL25 rims.

Expensive, but as they are disk hubs the wheels should last.  Built by DCR wheels – he also did some last year for someone, Josh Ibbett I think so he knows all about the event – my choice of HED rims got altered to the Pacentis and therefore upgraded rear hub.

Just need to work out all the wiring and I can start playing:-)

T-14 – where have my legs gone?

    kaBOOM!  I am as weak as a kitten 😦

14 hrs, 310k for the week, with a 120k ride to/ from my dads mid week.

T-15 weeks to go – 250k ride!

250k ride – longest so far.
got a route of a 200k audax I am going to do in May, so did that, adding on a bit in the middle

460 k all in for 21 hrs riding
1 turbo, 1 swim and 1 run.

Solid week but starting to feel it
