Pre tri update

Two small updates:

The rain has set in - those blue skies and clouds from earlier this morning decided they didn't want to play anymore so legged it out of town. I've never "raced" in the rain before so this should be interesting. Running in the rain I love, swimming outdoors in the rain is a very special experience but the cycling bit I have to admit I'm wary of. The risk of injury has to be so much higher.

As I write that, I realise that's the wrong attitude to have. Have three hours to work on my positive mental attitude. Who knows maybe it'll be dry again by then ;)

The second update is the Jubilee Line is part closed which means the usual route from West Ham to Canning Town will be cycled this time instead. It's no biggie distance wise, it's just one stop. The fun piece will be that old 'to left or to right' upon leaving the station. You have to love it.

Anyway I'm all packed up, excitement levels rising, tweaked back being ignored and the rain bedamned.

Higher, faster, stronger!
