BBC Radio Wales

Today I went to visit Jamie & Louise at BBC Radio Wales. Scroll forward to 1hr 35mins to hear my interview.

I've had a rest day today, which has been the first for a longtime and it feels really nice. My plan is to train until Sunday and then stop and taper.

I'm trying to focus on my nutrition this week by having a high protein, low fat and plenty of vitamins and minerals in my diet.

Weather Watch

This is todays weather on the finish line of the race...ahhhh...minus 30! Am I going to be able to cope with that???

At least the wind is not too strong and not too much snow fall either. I always try and look on the positive side!

Getting excited and nervous all together right now.

My latest dilemma is with my goggles. I need a lens that will be good in bright daytime and night time. I've found a pair of Julbo's which are really comfy but it has a mirrored lens which is a no no for night time. Sorting this out is one of tomorrows jobs.
