Today I....

• Left home at 7.45 saying goodbye to Chris leaving for the Alpentour, 
• Cycled to the office to leave my MTB there securely locked up,
• Walked 30 minutes to get to college,
• Listed to monotone lectures on dryest subject in the world for 7.5 hours,
• Walked 30 minutes back to office to collect the Canyon,
• Met Paul from BikeMagic to cycle to Beastway race at the Hoggenberg,
• Got hideously lost,
• Went to the wrong forest road,
• Arrived after 2hr 15, 5 minutes before race start,
• Caught up with the guys from Canyon UK, quick high five with new team-mate Trev,
• Necked a Guarana gel, felt weird so necked a Rhubarb and Custard gel as well,
• Quickly tried on new Mavic helmet for size- fastened it a bit tight,
• Raced a full pelt for 30 minutes,
• Legs gave up - raced at slightly less full pelt for 30 minutes,
• Finished on the podium in my first race for Canyon UK,
• Did the arms with Leona Kadir, Mariske Strauss and one of the kids
• Chatted with SIP events, Andy Waterman, Dan Jarvis, amongst many,
• Rode to station to catch train to Liverpool St.,
• Rode to Shoreditch to catch train home,
• Arrived home at 10.50pm and collapsed,
• Ate pasta with cheese in bed,
AWESOME DAY - time to sleep
