Finely tuned machines get broken if they are abused ;-) It was good to catch up with you too.<br />My midweek training still consists of the 2-mile cycle commute to work trying to burn off all other road users. It's the only sprinting I do and it uses up chains and sprockets rather quickly.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07454804247569172043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1630370531945018065.post-49330157198194533102011-02-08T17:47:42.895+00:002011-02-08T17:47:42.895+00:00Nice photo of the cakes, but I should point out th...Nice photo of the cakes, but I should point out that's MY plate of cakes...<br /><br />I reckon I put that amount away at the end, not to mention hot-dog, tea, malt loaf, dounuts and custard creams throughout the run.

You will blitz that course with your ultra trail experience. All I ask is that you wait for long enough at the finish without getting too bored so I can offer my congratulations. I'm making a weekend of it again. Will you join us for post-race Karaoke in the Padarn Lake Hotel?Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07454804247569172043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1630370531945018065.post-83532415446622146322011-02-06T21:11:08.134+00:002011-02-06T21:11:08.134+00:00Good pacing Nick!

Strangely enough, none of those cakes passed my lips this year. You're so right about getting the fuelling wrong. It's so easy to do.
