Just got back from my BRAT beginner’s ride which was a nice warm-up for the race tomorrow. We did a bit of hill work, followed shortly afterwards by a 1 lap individual time trial. I had no intention of busting my arse and draining my legs, so once Olivia came past I drafted off her for the rest of the lap. Racked up 42km in total for my final week on the MTB. Picking up the new bike on Monday, so I should be a good bit faster next week. Looking forward to it.

I’m off into town now with Jacqui to pick up my race pack for tomorrow. I haven’t done much training this week, since Tuesday anyway, so I’m going to call it a taper ;-) Looking forward to tomorrow, but with a bit of trepidation too, as I’m not as prepared as I’d like to be. Still, it’s a great course, so when it starts hurting I can allow the scenery to take my mind of it. Wish me luck!

B: 57km – R: 6km – S: 1200m
