One last go. Lets see if I can keep it together this time.
Not going well. Properly got The Fear.
Sounds ominous, but don't you need a little bit of that to get the extra bit of performance?
Maybe a bit closer to the event ? This actually happens to me quite a lot and leaves me a bit sleepless so I often start events tired. It doesn’t hugely effect performance, but I suspect I’d be faster if I could relax better before a big event.
I am fitter, faster, lighter and more aero than the last time I finished this event. I should be able to improve and it only needs to be by a little bit. Pacing, nutrition and comfort are the main things.
I did a 6hr test on a circuit in Kent last weekend and came away with a decent average speed.
