3 days until The Big Woody!

I should be in bed 10:30pm! but sorting and packing and now wide awake. Also ate way too much Homemade Pizza for dinner and might be sick if I lay down!

Pic of my new Cervelo - race ready! Hopefully I am too!
Keep fingers crossed for me.
Our vans looking fab and very live-able, if I get a chance will take a few pics tomorrow.

Thanks Guy and Helyn (King of the Mountains) for the link. Loving the Portland backdrop - makes me want to go back - two of the best things coffee culture and cycling/ running (Nike home town) culture in one place!!!

Happy training

2 weeks to go!

Two weeks till the Big Woody - Excited? Yes, strangly. I'm looking forward to seeing what I can put together on race day, given the training and the racing season i've had so far.

Training has been going well over the past couple of weeks and my running just feels strong at the moment, so I'm happy. Looking forward to riding my new bike, which is just the lovely - ist bike ever. We rode the bike course a couple of weekends back and there are few steep sections, where i know I'll be glad of a nice light road bike, that just zips uphill, especially on the last lap!

Simon and I both rode the WCA 100 mile Time Trial last Sunday - tearing old PB's to pieces. Simon rode 4:04 and I a 4:22, lets hope not peaked too soon? Doubt it my legs felt dreadful for first 10 miles and then didn't really come to life until the last 50 miles!

Our van conversion is coming along too. Beds now in, we had our first weekend away last weekend - Forgot the Hot Chocolate, Doh! Just awaiting windows to arrive, so they can be fitted and then we can do the soft furnishing bits! Curtains ordered - Toy Story ones!! Simon's Choice - Never a dull moment with my 38, going on 11 (3 + 8) year old boyfriend.
