Training was BAD ASS!! Everyone took it easy on their runs, the biggest battle at the Fort is to refrain from exhaustion!! One too many runs and you are left literally pitifully peeling your fingers off your bars!!The good ole reliable Scottish precipitation fell lightly throughout training, but the course held up really well, the wooded section was dry and dusty for us girls nearly the whole weekend. Sneaky lines kept appearing which were faster, but it was tough to remember where they were!! My perception of the race course was etched in my brain by Thursday, and the fear of change lead me to unbearable depths of mental turmoil in my attempt to appropriately adjust my FBill mind map...all came good in the end tho!! I resorted to my usual tack and followed the BROWN LINE!!
I trained with Fi, Jo, Top Fuel, some of Team USA and Anka! Anka and I had such a giggle! Training for me was amazing, I have not had that much fun on the track for a while! I swear if pracitce was my race I would have kicked ass! I felt so strong and poweful..the joy of being able to stop and rest before hammering into sections hu! Buhly had a bit of a random crash off a table top and into a BOG!! It wasn't funny really as she nailed herself, but she successfully claimed the title of BOG SNORKELING QUEEN! Unfortunately, my challenge for the day stemmed from Buhlys delve into the murky waters, I had to dress up Scuba Steve style and gate crash the US Team brief.....after a random run round the hotel, we cooled off at the bar and then I went for a cheeky dip in the Loch to fulfil the days task!! Cheers Bog Snorkler!! Mission accomplished!
Seeding was a night mere!! I got to the top to warm up on the wind-trainer only to find that my shifter was bust. I could only ride in 4th gear!! I couldn't pedal in and out of corners and sprinting on the motorway was as hard almost as impossible as dry humping a waterfall. Thankfully, it was only seeding, not qualification!
Yowta here Yowth............
