Finally get around to adding a post this week. Been a busy week with work, training and Olympics highlights watching. It's now Saturday morning, just got in from an easy ride in the morning sun. Sitting here eating one of my many favourite breakfasts! Slice Banana and peanut butter on toast with freshly made coffee. Comes very close to bacon and banana on french toast with maple syrup - A Kiwi special!Anyway since last post. Simon rode the National 12 Hour Time Trial. I was the support crew! It rained for the first 3 hours, but he was riding well and later the sun came out. New 100 mile PB and Ironman bike split (11
2 mile)PB on the way to clocking approximately 245miles in total. I think he enjoyed it. He couldn't quite face riding his bike till Thursday! I had fun. Dancing in my wellies on the side of the road! My present for supporting (and shouting allez allez allez!)all day a new fancy pants saddle!

My weeks been pretty uneventful - training, working, training, eating, watching Olympics on BBC iplayer (don't have a TV -Probably a good thing, or I'd be a couch potato). Repeat for 5 days.
Taper for long course has started - only 8 days till race day. I was feeling well till I had a little accident on my last long run. Nice evening, decided to do one of my favourite off road runs. Glare from low sun in between trees, blinded me - missed a tree root up ahead. trip. Face planted and rolled. My right and and elbow took the most of the impact. Had a little cry, gave myself a good talking too, picked myself up and finished my run. Thank goodness for the gel in m
y hip holster pocket - with burst (very sticky and messy) but saved my greater trochanter from some nasty soreness. Little chunks of skin are missing from my hands, thumb is very bruised and sore, elbow a bit tender on tri bars, shoulder and knee and grazed. No more off road running for me till after goal races.
