Thanks for the tips @JD-Scarabtri , didn’t know about the bike catchers! Looking forward to that. Fingers crossed for your run 
Agreed @jeffb - think I should have taken it a bit easier than I did. Will make sure not to worsen the problem this weekend…
Bike handed over to the shippers, always taken it myself in a bike box previously, a few minor bike rides, swims and jogs and we’re done, T minus 12 days.
Out of interest who did you use to ship it?
I know 3 lads that are going, definitely time to ease down now 
Went with Nirvana
I’ve also gone for Nirvana! You must live further north than me as I’m dropping off my bike on Thursday Think they’re working their way down from Newcastle.
2 hour run on Sunday went well thankfully. Now into my taper and the nerves are building…
Only found out on Sunday evening, short notice for a drop off at 11am, lucky that I could get away from work.
