Firstly, Happy Birthday to Hamish!!
So today I rode Stage 2 of the TdF. Hooray for me!! I have decided that the TdF riders are quite slack. Stage 1 is 18km and Stage 2 is 15.3km. I mean I have to ride a minimum of 40km per day. So that is much harder!! I will give the TdF guys that they have to face hills, and lot's of them, while I will be riding on the flat... except for dreaded day 6!
Of course, if they ride more than 1 stage per day, then perhaps I will need to eat my hat.
But then, oh dear... turns out I failed! I know right!? Who could believe that. Even with my new, fabulous, go-fast work out gear from Lululemon.
I completed the stage in 44.02 mins. The time allowed was 43.46 mins. So I was 16 seconds too slow! Maybe I should not have been enjoying the scenery whilst riding. Perhaps I should have just concentrated on the job at hand. Maybe if there was just one less up hill and one more down hill then I would not be in this predicament!
The worst part is that now I will need to do it again! Good grief!! It was really hard!
On to happier news... I have ridden almost 100 km this month to date, which during my two months of training is a record... a PB in fact!!
AND the quiz night is selling really well, so please get your tables booked. It is going to be so much fun, and it would be a shame if you were not there with us!! Please remember to book your platters in advance so that I do not have to spend the entire evening in the kitchen!
AND in one week Josie and I are speaking with the year 3-6 kids at GGS about this fabulous cause and our adventure.
So life is good!
