Rest & repair

Today is a rest day and I took full advantage with a long lie till 6.45am.  My quads are a bit tender from the turbo session but tomorrows swim should sort them out.  Despite me not exercising I had some work to do with my bike.  I was having new wheels fitted which are more aerodynamic meaning I will go faster - having tested them for a week I have to agree with the hype and it's £600 well spent!  However a few more bits & pieces on the bike need repaired / serviced so it will be going to my favourite repair specialist - Willie Bain.  What Willie doesn't know about bikes is not worth knowing - it's so good to know someone who you can trust to do the best job possible for you.
You have to take time to look after your equipment as the last thing you want is for it to breakdown in an event after all the hard work in the training.  Now that would hurt!
