Excellent, its a completely different experience riding with the girlies, a very good counterpoint to always riding with the boys. Hope you enjoy it, I know I still do.

I learned a long time ago (during stressful university exams actually) that things will be as they are on the day, I can prepare as best I can and as long as I have done my preparation I can only give it my best shot on the day. My first 10K I didn't really allow myself to dwell on it at all until I was on the start line, I just did what I had to do to get there and then I allowed myself a bit of a think to get the adrenalin going a bit and that was it. If I allow myself to think of things too much I get all tied up in knots.
