Anyway, minor hitch, as I have already hooked up a replacement motor in the form of a rental. The odd times I do have a rental car for hauling kit to events are the only occasions when the motor is actually more expensive than it's contents (normally about 4:1 in favour of my Isaac, over my sub-£1000 toyota).
Aside from that, all is good so far. Finished work on Monday, so I have had plenty of time to get my gear together, change the tires on my TT bike, muck about with the bike setup for the weekend, all with far too much time to spare. It's funny ... I am "tapering", and feel like I am sitting around getting flabby, yet I am still doing about as much training as I probably did when I first started out a few years back :-)
I am looking forward to the weekend ahead. No real signs of apprehension or nerves. I am sure they will kick in soon enough. After all, it is to be expected with 140 miles or so ahead of me, not to mention with over 2000 meters of climbing on the bike split ... and a marathon ... oh god, what have I got my self into !

That sucks about the car. Hopefully that's the only set back. Good luck for the day, and just remember to keep looking forward to all the beer you can drink when you're done!
