Ha ha ha - I’ve got some thin under armour exercise briefs
They have been totally fine so far doubling up.
I was going to take apart a pair of jammers and stitch that in, but there’s no seams on the Anemoi.
OOH!!!
Actually…
…do you have a NoPinz or homemade number belt like one?
I stitched two squares of Velcro (the hook side, so it doesn’t rub the front on the run ) onto the ass panel, put the softer Velcro onto your number, then it just fastens down with no flapping. And an ass crack cover.
Very good, I did did just think if I wore my number low enough it would cover the worst of it.
I’ll have a play, I’ve got a few belts knocking around that I don’t mind chopping up to experiment with. Thought I might go with the minimal elastic shoe lace though this year.
Yeah, that’s what I wore when I chucked it down last year.
Was absolutely fine temperature wise, I’m guessing it was similar to what is being forecast.
As they’re quite tight, they appear to be quite aero, too.
Last night we came Stoke/M6 way as loads of roadworks/closures on my normal scenic route; just horrendous on a Thursday. Fridays used to be better.
Hopefully you’ll be reet
Can’t wait to track you !!!
You’re gonna beast that bike.
25km is the longest - so Poets post in the sub 10 really struck a cord. I’ve found doing 30km+ runs have really wiped me out in the past so I’ve experimented here and not gone so long.
We’ll wait and see if it pays off but I’ll (hopefully) on that start line feeling fresh and uninjured.
I’ve been super consistent since mid April but I haven’t done anything crazy long. I’m pleased where I’m at to where I was back then but I suspect I’ll be in better shape for Wales not this one. I’ve had that in that back of my head all along really - still I’ll give it everything on Sunday!
Phil Skiba says this in his book. He reckons for most AGers anything longer means you compromise the following days too much. (Obviously that is ‘in general’)
Outlaw 2019 was the last time i had two or three 30km+ runs - absolutely killed me for days after - for me, I can see sense in it
Saying that though I did an 80km training ride with two other guys a few weeks ago which took we a good three days to get over so it’s all a bit of a balancing act.
Re the ride, I’m definitely going to push up the three main hills each lap but do absolutely nothing on the descents. I think some power is required for some of the rollers too as you can really keep your momentum going - so nice to have recced the course in that regard
Ha ha ha - that wasn’t a training ride.
That was an utter beasting
That wind direction looks brilliant for the “push” back into town. So that part should be rapid
That bit is superb on the bars with closed roads.
It’s so so quick!
I was a bit scared when I saw my speed in the wet down there, with Queens Park right turn fast approaching.
my normal 84 minute journey took 120 minutes 
might pack some mitts and arm warmers too
