The training is done. Maybe it was done a long time ago and I was just toying with myself. It was hard to know. I’d like to think I’ve made the best of maintaining my fitness since Austria. It hasn’t been smooth from a running point of view. That’s now in the past. I’ve moved on. It’s Tapering time. I’ve been gagging to say that for a long while. Training had stopped being fun a few weeks ago. I’m absolutely jaded!

Sunday - The second leg of Tour Tailteann took us through 100km’s of Donegal’s fine landscape.
That capped off two days cycling up there.

Thursday – 1hour 30 mins of running in my favourite running circuit. If you are ever down in Wexford town check out Cullitan’s Gap (beside Curracloe Beach) – the run through the forest towards Raven Point that eventually takes you onto the beach. On a sunny day it can’t be equalled. Beautiful.

Saturday – 2hour 40 min cycle. That’s the session that told me the training is over. I limped home. I could do no more.

In summary it’s R+R time from training. So much organising still to do its not even close to being funny. Last minute dot com forward slash why can’t people be more helpful dot ie should be a website for charity workers! I feel your pain.
One more big swim and some short bikes and runs will see me to the start line. Time to get into the zone - I can’t wait.

Payback
On a completly seperate note and for a different charity i'd like to say a word of thanks to 3 Restaurents that got me (a complete stranger off the street) out of a hole one time when i needed prizes for a table quiz. This was 4 years ago and i haven't forgotton. Maybe people are reading this? so its payback time by way of mentioning them.... Eliza Blues, Salamanca & The Bank Pub. Keep them in mind if yor going out for a bite. They raised the bar on generosity!
