Well it did seem that the moving of the race back about 4 weeks was a good thing as it gave us extra training time but in reality we still have not done very much!
Chris ripped his knees open in two separate falls in Kirroughtree in Scotland last October which put him out for about 4 weeks then wrecked his ankle which put him out of any serious training for about 6 weeks. I had a baby at the end of December and did precious little for a month afterwards.
The end result is that if our remaining plans go well our training for the first event will have consisted of two morning mountain biking rides in the lead mines in Newtownards and three short flat runs! The first race is going to kill us!
Our only saving point might be that I cycle about 25 miles a day to and from work almost 100% of the time. Chris also started a 20 mile round trip a week or two go and has been doing this at least 2 or 3 times a week. They are not the most intense rides but they certainly help keep the fitness at a decent level when you are not getting in specific training.
As for out team kit - I have a photo or two now and will get them uploaded soon.
