Really proud of TW, she did the London to Brighton bike ride yesterday. She trained properly, did a number of long cycle rides, especially along the Downs Link. The only thing she didn't account for was the extreme heat - it must have been 30 degrees at least. Here is her post about why she did it and what she achieved. I was happy to be able to support her, to take her to Clapham on Saturday night, to make sure that we were all (Mum & Dad, the MiL and GiL, our kids - 2 out of 3 ain't bad - and friends) there to see her as she crossed the line. She did a great thing, she's raised over a thousand pounds for the BHF and she had a good time too. I gave her a little massage last night as she was getting ready for bed, I don't know if it helped (I really hate massages) but she seemed her usual chipper self today, and had no complaints. She went swimming this afternoon. Apparently she nearly signed up for next year's ride, since the link is now open, but I think she probably won't do it. Her next aim is a triathlon. Fair play, I hope she enjoys it as much as she did the L2B and the Park Runs she's been putting in recently.
TTFN.
