Last day at work this week. I will be working tomorrow, but in my landlord capacity not in the usual day job.

Weather forecast for race day looks great. 21C and sunny. Nice. Let's hope it is like that on the day.

Goals for Sunday are:

1. Have fun
2. Race hard
3. Break 2:30

Seems reasonable.

On another note, Julie has her first half day at nursery today. She was VERY excited this morning. Where does the time go?

Busy, busy. Work was meant to be quiet but turned out not to be. Also working through a ton of home stuff and preparing to go to my flat on Friday to do some work. I need a list.

Tons of stuff to do this week. Will I manage to fit it all in? I hope so.

Weird late 1:30 PM start to the tri on Sunday. Should suit me, as that's when I usually go running. It also means it won't be a mad scramble to get the family organized in the morning. I'm liking it.

Have a good day everyone.

I'm back.

Had a great family holiday in Portugal. Perfect mix of sun, sea and sand and going on trips to see things. Not happy to be back, but I guess I've got to pay the bills...

Training wise it was a total blowout, but truth be told, I don't care. I'll finish the final week of the taper this week and then we'll see what happens on race day. I'll certainly be rested

Onwards.
