Today's plan went pear shaped when I woke up with a sore throat - this is usually the first sign of a cold for me so I decided getting in the pool wasn't a good idea. But I went for a "bike fit" from Colin at ATHelite (the best swim, bike, run shop in the UK). As he was taking measurements he notice a two inch bare strip on my back tyre - just ready to pop! I put it down to the hard riding on Etape and how luck I was that it didn't blow then but remembered I was out last night riding fast on the hills.
So tonight should be fun as I change my tyre - those of you that know me know I am "handless" but it's good practice 'cause it could happen in a race (it almost did!).
Subject to a successful repair and feeling better the weekend will consist of biking and running. I really can't afford this cold to develop as it will set back all my training in the run up to UK 70.3 IM.
Neil is also slightly poorly and his 1st tri is only 2 weeks away so fingers crossed.

Hope neither you or Neil are very ill. I am sure lots of people are following both of your fitness antics and willing you on.

Thanks Nick - I'll get an update on Neil next week but he needs to be extra careful. Mine is just a cold but means I may miss my 10 km race this week but also means I'm not training.
