No getting out of it now...

Bugger, I'm officially on the New Forest Tri start list. No escape now.  Am having the traditional collywobbles; tomorrow's ride and Wednesday's gait analysis will hopefully settle my water.  Hope so, anyway: this is easily the longest hardest thing I've ever attempted.  Roll the Dam Busters theme music...

Good Luck.
Just keep remindng youself "Carp Diem" and get the second verse of Brown Girl In the Ring stuck in you head when the going gets tough.

It beats the Teen Titans theme in Japanese, or Barbie Girl, or bloody Girlfriend. Tra-la-la-la-la!

Personal fave internal theme tunes:

Kate Bush, Running up the Hill
Take it to the Limit, by some cheesy 60's band
Demi Moore shouting "Hoo-Ya" from GI Jane

I think I'll stop there....

Good luck. Don't forget to drink on the bike. I know you are an experienced cyclist and have "drink me" on your water bottle, but..

Don't forget to drink...

It's a valid reminder, thanks. I've been experimenting lately with less food and much more fluid, with some success.

Good luck mate, Thunder birds theme tune on the day, works for me, fills you with that distinctly British swell of pride.
