So it hit me this morning... I'm cycling to Barcelona!
People keep saying to me: "How are you feeling?" "Are you nervous?" and of course "Good luck!"
In truth, I haven't had time to contemplate the first two questions. With Stacy doing amazingly well to land a new job in Reading, (but unfortunately the timing of her start date coinciding with he second week that I'm away), and the manic rush to first find a house to live in for the both of us, and then try and organise furniture for it (all to be moved in on the first weekend I'm back from the ride). I haven't really had chance to sit down and contemplate what is I'm about to go out and do. Now the start date is within a few days it's really hit home.
I've got that old familiar feeling of pre-race jitters, a kind of nervous anticipation about the whole event. It's a welcome feeling to be honest, since finishing University and entering the world of work (and travelling), sport has taken a bit of a back foot in my life, and I've missed it hugely. I hope the last few kilograms that have been accumulated sitting behind a desk will be shed, and then I will do my utmost to keep them from coming back!
So in answer to your questions... yes, I am feeling nervous, but I welcome that nervous energy and will channel it into finishing this challenge I've set myself and justifying every penny that people have donated to the Foundation.
