Obviously if I’m untrained for clanfield by the end of it I’ll be beautifully trained for dorking. That’s how it works, right? Also how I get injured I think, but I’m skimming over that bit. I’m up to 7 miles comfortably and clanfield is less than, er, double
Do as I say not as I do kids

I am also insufficiently trained for Clanfield. It'll be fine!

I am insufficiently trained. But I nearly always have been.

Morning all.
I don’t think I’ve ever been sufficiently trained! ;)

I think it maybe happened once? But I was aiming for a PB, not doing that this time. So it depends what your goal is really

IT GRANNY 🇮🇸
Morning! My last day in town. Driving south tomorrow and hopefully getting to Greenland on Wednesday (this is never guarantteed!). I had some difficult dreams that involved a lot of laundry, hiding from OH for some reason, and sobbing loudly over my dad (nearly 3 years since he died. Does this ever end? I think it is because baby's confirmation is coming up and the big one's confirmation was his last trip here. We only spend one day together after that, in Edinburgh.)

Gets less and less ITG. Still happens sometimes. Went to the pub where we had Dad's wake last week. Felt odd and sad but no sobbing dreams. Almost 5 years for me.

Hilly bike ride for me - spent half the ride being hit by horse flies, they were every where but enjoying up and down around the yellow fields

Also been out on bike after this morning’s marshalling. Only 25 miles for and NO cake stops :-(

Might allow my self a pint later though while walking Cairo ;-)
