The Argus is now a single digit of weeks away, and that number is rapidly counting down. On Sunday morning the alarm got me up at 4:45am. I was like: "Urrggghhhhhhhh." A very small little voice said: "Do you want to do well in the Argus?" 45 minutes later I was huffing like a steam train up Northcliff with Alex and two other very strong riders. They chatted all the way up, easily sliding up the slopes ahead of me.
My goal was to go up twice, but I felt a lot stronger than I expected (perhaps because despite being less fit, I'm lighter). So I went up a third time, and did a short painful section with the guys.
This morning I was in Melrose Arch gym. It's quite a sexual experience - all these bodies sweating around you first thing in the morning.
This needs to be a very hard week. Need to eat, sleep, rest and balance work and training.
