Never read anything at Midnight

Just read your great summary - only now I'm really going to vomit. This is insane, beyond me.


You read this at Midnight? Darn I was hoping you'd be asleep. Really you should read it in the daylight, with a second large glass of wine to hand and Bekka rolling around at your feet. Stuff read at Midnight always seems so distressing and depressing.

I have a long (of course) argument all laid out on training and prep and your technique for coping, but I need to be at work in a few hours.

You have made a great suggestion though. Maybe all of us should exert ourselves until we vomit (I'm eating breakfast so that sentence is distressing) and just get over the fear of finding that intimidating boundary.

Yes this is a little insane, but look at the four of us, we're not really the safe and steady path types, we're not the "I'm not looking up at that mountain to so I don't see what I'm missing", types are we Miss," I'm doing a Triathlon the week we go to France"?

Base jumping may not be our thing, nor is sitting around doing the same thing over and over when we have the option to explore.

This may be my last, best chance to explore a place I've never been (not just geographically). I know what I want to do and I know I may not be able to do it cleanly, but hey the bike washes off easily.
