Assuming that things go according to plan,
in 3 weeks time I will have been riding for nearly 72 hours and most likely still
have a little way to go. Since
Wednesday lunchtime I have been thinking about how long the 8 laps of Taupo
ride will be. I am very scared……each
night (Wed/Thur/Fri) I have thought about how while riding there won’t be much
sleeping. Will I be tough enough?
I hope so!
In high level sport I have often heard that there are 2 reasons why people are scared when they are about to race, scared because they haven't done the work, or scared because they have. I'm not completely sure which place my fear is stemming from....most of the hard training and long miles are over (that in combination with a more than full work load has contributed to the lack of posts), I have done what I can within the constraints of work and making sure that I don't break......but is it enough? Only time will tell.
Just want to say...yay you! I have just been reading the Waikato times article and have fully realised what you just did around Taupo :)
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I haven't really heard you talk about Taupo (either before or after) so I didn't know what you did.....and, wow, I just can't even imagine the stamina and effort required to train and achieve your goal of 8 times around Taupo....and with sleep deprivation as well! So awesome :)
