No point worrying about the weather. It’ll be what it will be and nothing you can do about it.
Control the controllables and take a brolly

Don’t forget the flesh-eating shrimp deterrent.

Went hill climbing on the Cat and Fiddle last night, one of those is it long enough and shallow enough to risk the TT bike courses? Last night I tried and got a near minute PB - good power and a solid overall ride but not convinced I couldnt have done better on the road bike as last night I just felt good.
Going back to the Peak District today for a ride before a TT tomorrow.
It will all be fine PIX :¬)
Morning

You've got this, Pixar.
Your training has been super solid.
I told myself I'd brick today - set a nice early alarm to get out before the sun was too hot and everything.
Slept through it and have only just had breakfast 🤦🏻

I think some nerves are pretty normal, Pix.
Heck, I had three nervous poops this morning and I was just doing a tiny little brick.
Which went pretty well, in the end, all things considered. I forgot to drink anything on bike, and kept getting needles and pins in my right hand which wasn't fun, and I forgot to untie the laces on my trainers before setting off which was frustrating in transition, and then didn't re-tie them properly so they came undone 800m into the run (I hadn't got around to swapping the stock laces for the speed ones from my old road shoes, I'll do that this afternoon), then I decided to cut the planned 5k short because I was gasping and didn't think flogging myself to death today was worth it.
But my first k of the run may well have been my fastest this year so far, so that was nice.

Bike racked
Transition is HUGE
I’ll take 15 mins to get from bike to swim start!
T1 will be at least 15 mins probably more 😂😂
T2 maybe 10
It’s that long that there are 3 sets of loos in transition 😮
Weather looks fab now so back to kit plan A with addition of arm warmers on bike rather than sun sleeves
Butterfly swarm happily buzzing about in my belly 😵💫
I know I can easily do it
It’s just a big indicator for the full and that worries me!
Plus I think I miss typed my expected swim time. I thought I put 55 mins but seem to be swimming earlier than those in the 40s
Best get ready to be passed lots in the swim
