Race Week!!

After what seems like an eternity of training, Race Week is finally upon us.
The taper has gone to plan. With an initial few days of being unable to sleep due to not burning so much energy we seem to have settled down now, the bikes are serviced, polished & packed & most of our race day equipment & other belongings are packed. Quite organised really. Last year it was a bit of a rush getting everything ready as well as sorting out everything for the shop but this year we are slicker. Going into Ironman stressed does not help you on race day.

We have had a final massage this afternoon, a gentle run tonight (Monday) with the JogScotland Group and a short swim session early tomorrow morning then that is us until we arrive in Copenhagen.

We travel down to Manchester on Wednesday afternoon where we stay briefly overnight before the 7.00am flight to Denmark on Thursday.

Thursday will involve us locating & getting checked into our appartment as well as going through the Athlete Registration in the afternoon.

On Friday we have an early morning swim on the race circuit, the Pre-Race Briefing mid-Morning, build & test the bikes & a short 10 min run, then the Pasta Party in the evening.

On Saturday we have another early morning short sharp swim, bike, run. The rest of the day is just spent getting organised & trying to relax followed the Bike Check-in into Transition in the evening.

Sunday = up at 4.30am for RACE DAY!!

I will attempt to update on the athelite facebook page and you can track us on the day by our race numbers on the Challenge Copenahagen Website.
