It’s the weekend before the MS and what am I doing? I’m sitting inside working. Why would that be? I should be out riding my bike for training. When I woke up at 7:30 this morning, the wind was howling around the house and when I looked at the weather it said 20-30mph wind gusting to 35mph. The two most painful bicycle experiences I’ve had have been in wind like that and I don’t really feel the need to subject myself to that again. Tomorrow it’s supposed to be about the same except also raining.
I guess if I’m going to get anything done to prepare for next weekend it’s going to have to be on the rowing machine. I think I’ll be fine for the event though. Especially if the wind is anything like it is today. If I have a 20mph tailwind next weekend it will be a complete piece of cake. If I have a 20mph headwind I’m going to have to draft a car or something because there is no way I’m capable of doing 100 miles into this.
I am getting some decent work done though and the “Tairora Cherry” is pretty fantastic so at least the day isn’t wasted.
