Heroes !!!!

A bit of Bowie to kick off day 2

We could be heroes just for "ONE" day - one day, one day - gimmie a break there were 13 (& 2 half !!) heroes out there today (& will be for 10 days !!) - the 12 runners & the Haddi family mobile fetchpoint was fantastic that boy has legendary status now round this lake & to cross the line & get handed a couple of bottles of Stella from the man I was in Heaven

It seemed the only right thing to do to replenish fluids as soon as possible & Naomi seemed to share my opinion in that respect - Afletes us you see our bodies are temples - although Naomi claims hers is a Playground !! OMG

After yesterday I always knew today would be slower but to my suprise not as slow as I had anticipated,I got round in 3.46 so 2 days in & I've averaged 3.40 that wont continue but does mean I have banked a few minutes in my quest to go under the Golden 40 hours.

After celebrating a male 10 in 10 course PB today was Ladies day (not quite the big hats of Ascot !!) Anna Finn came home in 3.49 to take 2 minutes off the ladies best from last year.

I warmed up the engines with a few on course fly bys before finishing in traditional style - more reliable than BA - never on strike & no volcanic ash to ground the Flying Fox

I wore shirt from one of My Sponsors today Miss Connie Savan all the way from Seattle - although due to a bit of rubbing had to remove it part way through revealing Le Maillot Jaune - not really worthy of the colour on day 2 of a Stage race as the name isn't Armstrong or Cancellara & I was wearing the Union flag not the Stars & Stripes or Swiss flag. (Many thanks Connie )

The Yellow jersey looks to be firmly around the shoulders of Adam "Tango" Holland as he took it easy today with a 3.13 extending his overall advantage by a further 11 minutes - I expect him to be in yellow on the Champs D'elysee (ok so the Brathay Hall Lawn !!)

It was another good day at the office but as it was Saturday I hope they pay me overtime In the words of Cuba Gooding Junior "Show me the money" !!!

Would love to stop & chat but the ice bath awaits - "Cold as Ice" a bit of Foreigner anyone ?!!!

Just 4 doubles & it's over - Job's a Gud 'un
