No, not on a bike or my feet. No, it's that great way of going backwards on water...rowing. Sat in the bow of a novice four rowing at the Avon County head race.
Yep, last autumn when I took this up, it was all "No, I'm not taking this seriously, it's just a fitness thing, I'll leave the racing to the younger guys". Five months later, I've got my little one piece all laid out ready to go tomorrow and the adrenaline is already flowing. Not a hope I'll get a decent night's sleep. This is going to be one of the longest quarter hours ever for me. I expect my lungs will be bursting at the end.
EDIT: Make that "today", not tomorrow...as I can't sleep.
