Don't you just love us optimistic, encouraging types?
That advise would be fine if I was a tweenage child of yours Matagi, but this is the first outing for a reasonably fully fledged Team Thylacine at the races so something tells me I won't be spending the next 10 weeks on the couch.
The other two guys will be doing most of the work (they're much more of the 'racing type' than me anyway) - I'll probably only do a couple of laps so I can spend the rest of the time hoiking my wares.....I just don't want to let the side completely down by squandering the few weeks I have!
Okay, so I'll just slowly up the mileage. Sounds like a simple plan.
