Brilliant write up @Mr-me and congratulations.
Lovely report…. I can really relate to your performance’s, and it really motivates me, overall you are just a bit better than me, so your reports push me to try a little harder.
For me ultra cycling has taken over from Ironman, I love the multi day aspect, I love the planning on top of the training, I love the low key organisation and i love going from point A to point B.
I am sitting at a friends house 5k from Cascais. Feeling chilled, everything ready for the race tomorrow. Sea looked pretty choppy today
Tomorrow is all about pacing, I will make a big effort not to smash the bike early on
My setup is unchanged for the last few years, a new front Tyre is the only change. I have also lifted my aero bars by 12mm, i may not be quite as aero, however, will be more comfortable and I can climb better on aerobars
Let’s see how I feel this time tomorrow
Best of luck.
