River Rat Posted May 10, 2015 Share Ok so this is how the race of all races is shaping up. Red has teamed up with Shrek and I (Blue) am teamed up with the Wafflemeister. Red and I are chilled but Shrek and Waffle have decided to race each other (something to do with their Dusi2c partnership from last year). If training means anything Red and I are the strongest of each partnership, they start in H and we're in F. It's Shrek and Waffle's first Sani so they know nothing, John Snow. Waffle has an ankle injury and Shrek has just come off antibiotics, Red and I believe that they would do well to finish but the competitive spirit has no bounds. Me thinks that dinner table at Mackenzie will be an interesting place. HOEKVLAG, Nibali, CleatsnCleavage and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One guy had a punctured lung from a needling physio session gone bad and the other guy has a hernia in his diaphragm. Talk about die hards... If they beat us, I'm selling my bike.

NixM Posted May 11, 2015 Share Right bikes are through security , bags checked in. We are now waiting for boarding. Starting to get excited or nervous not sure which. Why didn't I train properly? Anybody got some magic last minute advise for 2 lazy back markers who drink more wine than they ride bikes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very easy to make the daily cut-offs so dont worry about that. Most of all have fun!!! NixM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
