Peregrine, Helpful Wind and a Flat Run!!!!

Just a quick update today:- more time tomorrow as we should be done a bit earlier.

Old bones still bearing up ok and everyone still very positive.

What a priviledge to swim in the Beaulieu River this morning: even tracked by a peregrine falcon which flew from boat to boat, perching and keeping a close eye!!

Wind today was strong but not as unhelpful so I can't moan about that.

For my part I felt a good bit stronger on the bike: guess the back is settling and was surprised at how well my legs had recovered from a difficult day yesterday, when my quads felt a bit mashed on the down hill sections of the run.

Three shorter days now so a chance to recover a bit we hope!!

Catch you tomorrow
