Race entry done and dusted

So have I got one thing ticked off my to-do list.

I have officially entered the Pick n Pay, Argus Cycle tour……

I am not exactly sure what has possessed me to do this for second year running as the first attempt was pretty horrendous.

I have vowed to myself as soon as all this university work is done and dusted, I am going to start training three times a week.

This year I want to be able to complete the race in less than 6 hours and I do not want be in a world of pain 60 km in, with another 60 or so still to go.

My bum was so sore last year the last half of the race was really unpleasant and I nearly quit as we entered Camps Bay which felt so close yet sooo far away from the finish.

So this year I want to be prepared.
