sluiper Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 ... The week ahead... Hmm, I'm not going to get too excited by that forecast as those conditions look almost too good to be true.

travisza Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Man I remember the last time I flew and I though I had taken them off and they showed in the X Ray ... had to unpack everything right there and got escorted out of the airport to 'dispose' of them. ie throw them in the bin (outside of the building)Seriously no bombs in your bag you check into the hold? Glad you warned me of that

travisza Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 stomach bug start of race week , luckily its the start of race week. However core is getting some good training !!Good strategy. Lose 3kgs in the next 2 days. Then get strength back in following 2. Then hit 70.3 at full strength, only lighter and faster.

Almost there then.....
dracs Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Ahh the week of stress and doubt. Have I trained enough?Am I over-trained?Should I have bought an aero road helmet?Perhaps I need a bike fit?Is that a tickle in my throat?Carboloading?7 or 8 bar?Which goggles, what if the strap breaks on my race pair?Should I try that new nutritional product?Could Tim Noakes be right?Bunkers Hill isn't that bad is it?Should I really be trying new shoes after only 40km 32km in them?Should I go harder on the bike than last year?One tube or two?One bomb or two?Should I have put new tyres on?Hope the airline doesn't smash my bikeAnd the list goes onHoly crap - its like you're in my mind!!! Thought about all the ones in bold in the last few days.... Plus one biggie you missed: How much to taper this week!?
