Weather watch

Although officially resting today and tomorrow I am keeping an eye on the weather forecast for Sunday as I am due to complete a 3 hr 20 min bike ride followed by a 30 min run - a brick session.  It's more the mental side of the long rides that I need to get used to rather than the physical side.  If the weather is bad then the bike becomes a turbo session but I really need time on the road.  You need to experience the wind and work on your bike handling skills (avoiding pot holes and cars etc) while getting out the saddle for hills.
Today I launched my fund raising for Maggie's Cancer Caring Centres in memory of my friend Neil Sutherland.  His wife Marion still gets support from Maggie's and is fully behind my fund raising.  If you want to support me then go to www.justgiving.com/Derek-Stewart0 .  Your support is greatly appreciated and I am also looking to a for a corporate sponsor and will include my Mission Ironman keynote speech in any package agreed so please spread the word.
