This morning i woke and panicked a little.Tomorrow i fly out to Gran Canaria to do what is promising to be the biggest and hardest race of my career so far,the Gran Canaria international mountainbike marathon.The race is on the 20th march and is listed as being 85km long with 2700meters of vertical gain all in 22degrees of sunshine.The website says there are 10 national marathon champions from around the world entered this year which really helps with my confidence loads.Right now i am resonably fit and with a week of training in the sun before the race it should be enough to fine tune my fitness and loose a few pounds in weight too.My goal for the race is a top 20 finish and if i get that then i should be in good shape for the National mountainbike series race at Sherwood pines in Nottingham(my 1st race as an Elite on home soil)
I will post a race report when i return.
