October has been a wash-out thus far with crazy work schedules and a persistent fatigue that has dogged me in recent weeks and killed off my training. I've all but written off any chance of a "good" race now, and it's just a matter of getting enough done to finish the jolly thing and have a good time with our little RC crowd that is gathering on yonder shores.

Thanks for writing my post for me, mate. What a crock.
3 shows in 4 weeks*, pre-dawn starts, 22:00 finishes, no prospect of a waddle, no hotel gym. On the plus side, I've not turned into a beer monster. Weissbier aside (well, who wouldn't?) I've been pretty good but after a month pounding unrelenting concrete in work boots my legs are like roadkill.

I have a two week window here where I can get some speed work and a couple of medium-range slogs in. I've not covered the distance in over two months, which says it all. The biggest concern is injury, so let's all avoid the foolery that is playing catch-up and stay fit for the start-line.

Solidarity, brother!!

*apologies, I sound ungrateful. I'm not. It's great to be busy in the current climate, but the timing sucks
