Wake up… feel full of nervous energy and not quite sure what to do with myself, what to eat for breakfast…

However, with the day underway, and the portion of the morning usually devoted to a swim, ride or run already passed, it’s not so bad. The evening involves a 4 hour journey to Manchester, as I’ll be at the National Cycling Centre for some interviews tomorrow.

Reaching the hotel, I pour myself a hot bath with muscle relaxing bubbles, and crash out on bed. At least I have lots to keep my mind occupied. Oh, and there’s totally a Tassimo coffee machine in the hotel room.
