A quick update at the end of the year

Wow 2019 is almost over already!

We have had a busy year with many highlights topped off by becoming a USA citizen just before christmas.

I am now a USA citizen!

I hope all my friends have had a great year and festive season.

My training for the Landrun double has been progressing nicely.  The running is going better now I am a few weeks in, it's actually fun to run again. The cycling is, well it is just always fun once I get out on gravel. 

Obviously with an event that can have such varied conditions as Landrun setting time goals is mostly out of my hands, If I get good conditions I would be over the moon with a 12.5hour combined finishing time however that is with near perfect conditions which can't be guaranteed. Therefore I am looking to just finish both events with no major body problems or mechanicals, and my training is geared towards that. 

As I get closer to the events I will dial in my kit a little better but right now it is looking like I will be using a camelbak chase for the running event and going probably with just two waterbottles on the bike and not using a camelbak.

New tyres for christmas 38C
but more like a 35C, seem to roll pretty well too

Sunrise rides never get old :)

Always nice out here, even
better when there is almost no wind.

I had been running in some hoka shoes but I am not sure about them so I switched out to some Saucony shoes. It is still early miles in them but they feel lots better. I want to get a few longer runs in before committing to that.

New shoes :)

Dirt running

I am also sending in my biking shoes for repair as one of the boa lace eyelets failed on them, hopefully I will have an update soon as to if they can be repaired.

Ooophs :-/

With just over 10 weeks to go before the Landrun double it's all go go go here. Until next time, have fun everyone.
