A Long Weekend of Last Minute Training and Prep

We know it's not long to go now because Ally's on a long haul flight from Germany to NZ as we write - can't wait to see her and start to get final prep underway oh and hopefully do a bit more light training - together :) Craig is moving house this weekend so his traning will be mostly heavy lifting and waking.  We are planning a couple of paddles, a couple of rides and a couple of runs with some shopping, packing, eating, rugby watching, labelling and washing our flash new cycling kit from Tinelli, wearing in new montrails and hopefully getting a sleep-in or 2 in at some point.

With races like this there is so much to think about and get organised. You would think that after doing this sport for 10 years we'd have it down pat but somehow we seem to angst over what clothes we'll need for the conditions, what additional equipment to take and how to keep the weight down for the flight to try to minimise costs of excess baggage.

Hopefully the wind will die down, the sun will shine and the weekend of Rugby will keep cars off the roads :)
Go the Wallabies ... go the All Blacks ..........

Only 6 more sleeps and we'll be Tassie bound .......
