The count down has started...

Well the count down is on. There are two more days before I fly out on Saturday morning, and of course there are a myriad of things that I need to do before I go. I've got to replace an arm rest on my aero bars (which broke 100km into my 200km ride last Saturday, bummer!), I've decided that I really do need to replace the cleats on my cycle shoes, and of course I need to get my head around all the bits and pieces that I need to take with me.

About the blog - friends, colleagues and family can't all come along for the Kona adventure, but I can certainly share a bit of what its all about; why I'm on this journey, and even an insider's view of what its like to be a small fish in a big pool of very talented athletes.

So, you're invited to come along for the ride. Let me know what you think; ask any questions you have and perhaps above all else, start thinking about what your own next personal challenge might be.
