This time next week...

This time next week I'll be getting ready to go to the start. Gulp. I'm ready though, and the buzz is hotting up on YACF.

Have set up Twitter. I hope to have time to send a couple of messages - don't count on it! My account is http://twitter.com/swarm_catcher, but if you use this link #LEL search, then you'll see all LEL related message. So, even if I don't get to send many updates, you will be able to gather from the other posts what is happening. For example you might read "its raining and I'm pleased I've finished for the day - by ANOther". Then you'll know that I'll still be cycling ... in the rain. Or may be on a brighter note: "Caught up with swarm_catcher and life-of-brian at lunch time - by BNOther". That would mean I'm not doing badly and I have company!

In fact, RichForrest's comment on my blog during the BCM, is exactly what Twitter enables. He had written: "Hope you finished, last saw you leaving Kings YH."

The weather forecast is not looking too bad, except for Tuesday, which is the hilly day. I'll be expecting a 'BCM day'.

Again, many thanks to everybody who has donated! There is still time to donate (after LEL, I will never ever ask again).

Een zwaarlijvige man moest een berg beklimmen in the Lake district en hij zag dat niet zitten.De coach zei: expect the worst scenario, de rest is bonus.
zit iets in hé.Het is een manier om te willen je grenzen te verleggen, om je doel te bereiken.Maar ik denk dat je dat al wist hé...maar we leven zo mee,vooral het mentale aspect is nu belangrijk.Bon courage!!!xx
