Beginning a race knowing your not going to finish is a pretty strange feeling.However being no closer to a solution to my achillies problem, no refund on the hotel I booked, and no refund on my race entry, meant that I thought I would go for the swim-bike practice nonetheless.
It was more like swim - swim practice though with the horrendous weather!
I have never been more terrified on a bike ride in my life, kudos to those people who managed to get onto their aero bars, I was hanging on for dear life on the bull-horns and STILL got blown 3 feet across the road laterally in the wind!
However - sucess came in the form of a not too terrible swim, which felt pretty comfortable til the end which is a first for me. Slow progress, but progress nonetheless.
