with now only 3 more days left untill the ras kicks off its all now about relaxing and keeping the legs up… i spent the last few days training easy and winding everything down so that i am 100% fresh for the race… had my good friend paidi o brien over in my house today and we talked about the stages and how we thought the race might unfold.. unfortunatly paidi wont be riding the ras this year after a knee injury but it was good to get some words of wisdom from him, he was 2nd a couple of years back and knows the race like the back of his hand.. the next few days for me will be very quiet with some easy training and a few massages….. lets hope the weather stays good for the week and everything goes well….
