Weekly summary - 3 days to go

Well my plan to put my body clock back, halfway to Boston time, has backfired. I've had the last 2 days off work. The idea was to have a few late nights and get up a few hours later, so that I was closer to Boston time, thereby minimising jet-lag effects. The result, unfortunately, was that I still got up at close to my normal time, meaning I've had a few less hours sleep over the last 2 days! Last night I did my packing and went to bed late, getting to sleep after midnight, but by 6:30am I was awake - 2 hours less sleep than I'd normally have. So here I sit at 7 in the morning typing at a PC. The best laid plans...

I've loved all the messages wishing me well. I've had loads of emails and forum postings. I marshalled our club handicap race last night; afterwards coach Pete made an announcement wishing me well. It's all very appreciated. Thankyou everyone!

Well I guess I'm going to be leaving for Heathrow a little earlier than planned. I'm not sure if I'll be able to log on easily in Boston, so bye for now!
