Pre-race and the nerves really were setting in

Friday afternoon meant re-housing down in PDC - and that meant making sure I had everything for the weekend - including the bike - which was transported along with the other Club La Santa residents bikes in a rather unusual way (but efficient and effective - as it was waiting for me once I got down to the Start line).

Once in transition it was a case of racking up the bike and bags - and now the nerves really are going!!!!!  As I put the Slice in and make sure I know were I'm going after getting out the water, etc.

Caught up with Mam and Dad who had found their local for the week :0) where Dad couldnt believe how cheap the lager was :0)  just what I needed when stressing pre-race ;0)  anyway caught up with Mam and Dad, and then went on too meet Phil and Sue for a bite to eat - where I had my traditional pre-race food of pizza.

After that it was back to the apartment - with a visit to the local supermarket to get some carbs for breakfast - which wasnt so successful :0(  anyway it was a case of counting down the hours and some last minute prep for the morning, which obviously included last minute shave ;0)
