Off to Portugal first thing Friday for the European Championships so am looking forward to the first big race of the season. Unfortunately it's looking like the weather is going to be better here than there - heavy rain is forecast for Lisbon - but hopefully that won't spoil a good race. It's the first Olympic distance race of the season for me so it'll be a good test of where I'm at fitness-wise.
After three weeks of tough training I'm starting to taper down ready for Sunday's race so it feels strange not to be spending my lunchtimes out running or my evenings on the turbo. Not feeling nervous yet, but really want to get the summer of racing off to a good start.
