Almost certainly the last entry for a good long while. The next one should be reporting on the race. Feeling as good as I could hope. Recent weeks training gone well. Swimming this morning well, running yesterday like a dream. Biking yesterday morning felt laboured but when it came to 5-minute efforts I was able to fly.

I’m feeling reasonably confident. I feel slightly below par which is how I should feel at this point in my taper. It’s good to see that when I do try and push it a little the extra gear is there. Looking forward to the race now, which is precisely what I would want.
