3 days to until the Etape

It was a cracking evening tonight as the Bigman and The Fit One sought to benefit from a fine albeit blustery evening to squeeze in a last few miles before 'pistols at dawn' ( okay it is 7.00am however live with the poetic licence) on the High Street of Pitlochry on Sunday. Squatted down on his tri bars The Fit One cut through the air with ease.

Contact was made with the third amigo from last year - the Aberdeen One. He claims to have done little or no training recently and is only going to enjoy himself. We have all heard this approach before. It is like the Ironman saying I am off out for a short jaunt. 3 hours later and 112 miles under his belt, he returns claiming to have enjoyed the warm up!

We will be wary :-)

Santiago is taking a different approach to warm up and plans to camp out in a tent the night before to loosen up his muscles. This is either a new training routine or madness taken to a new level. Time will tell.
