Just getting the last of my stuff together before i set off for Pembs.Looking forward to it now with nervous excitement.Also looking forward to hopefully meeting you all down in Tenby.Im registering tomorrow and hopefully doing the afternoon practice swim.
Ok last minute faff with bike completed .. New chain fitted and gears no longer jumping ... At least not on the test ride . Packing , unpacking, repacking and repeat for the rest of the evening I suspect . Butterflies have arrived .
Good luck all, see you there. Really looking forward to supporting
Not sure what time we will get down. Had planned to leave about now but eldest sprog has bad earcahe and want to see GP before we leave. Will have to leave cow bell behind
Yep Dave if its windy again watch those field gates! good luck everyone would have loved to be there helping out but dropping daughter off at Kent uni this weekend
Well I've woken up with a streaming nose and a headache. Oh joy! Heading down to Bluewater tonight with the kids, to meet up with Mrs CD who's been in Wales all week giving speeches at conferences. Registration tomorrow morning.
Well its very windy in S. Wales... Just ready for the off, cu peeps around the course I'll be shouting words of encouragment/abuse whatever. Race your own race do not get sucked into anyone elses and DONT GO TOO HARD.....
Aaaaaggghhhhh! So effing excited to be here; registered, bike racked, big smile on my face. Atmosphere building and I feel EPIC!!! (Other than the snotty nose, wheezy chest and sore hamstring - but they're small details). Thanks for the good wishes, all. Rode in from Bluestone this morning (which is a lovely place to stay), little swim this evening. A roast chicken and a loaf for dinner.
Highlight of the day will be watching my little Holly in her 1st Ironkids race, aged 6 - bless!
hope everyone whos doing it gets what they want and deserve, when it gets hard just think, if you dont give it what you can - after the race youll look back and wished you had.

Have fun and race strong guys
Good luck CD. I'm sure the streaming nose is just weakness leaving the body
If it is, Cat, there's a lot of it! I'll be fine for Sunday I'm sure.

Well, yesterday the weather here in Tenby was lovely - flat calm for the practice swim and warm sunshine in the evening ..
Unfortunately, tomorrow's forecast is back to 20mph winds, and rain from lunchtime....at least the temperature should be OK. We WILL have fun!
Hope the lurgy is lifting, CD, and Good luck to all tomorrow.
Good luck everyone. Hope the weather stays kind to you.
