What grown man shaving his legs on a Friday night? Because I’m doing an Iron Man. What other things have I been doing? Watching myself somehow get on ITV news. Building the bike that cost me my house deposit. One of the hardest bits about an Iron Man race is the days before. There’s so many random things to do. My new aerodynamic rear bottle hydration mount. Struggling to put them on. New tires. Trying to fit them without popping them for the first time. A new wax chain cuz apparently it makes you a bit faster on the bike and I need every bit of speed I can get. Got bits of random kit laying around everywhere. Batteries, tire levers, spare tubes, CO2 canisters. You name it, you need it. I’m now just about ready to go and less than 24 hours from race day. Feeling excited, nervous, so many different emotions and the main thing is just to survive. So this time tomorrow hopefully be flying around Iron Man leads and eventually going down the red car. So once again, good luck to everybody racing. Try and enjoy it. Smile if you can. Hopefully my silky smooth legs get me 30 seconds on the bike. Well worth it.
