Getting my kit together was much simpler and less stressful this time around, though I've just realised that I forgot to pick up a rice snack for the morning. I'm attempting to make my own, but it could be a bad move-kind of like trying a new look with your make up on the night of the ball (never a good idea).I tried to take the kick-stand off my bike tonight. Yes, I know I should have done it a long time ago-like the day I bought it-but I didn't and now I can't.
I thought I was in luck when I found the right sized alan key in my bag of Ikea disposables. But it seems my 'toolbox' is incomplete because I don't have a tool to hold the nut on one side while I unscrew the bolt on the other side with an alan key. Oh well, I'll just have to be uncool tomorrow.
On a more successful note, I have confidence in my tyre pressure this time around. Last week, I added to my kit with a really good tyre pump that has a gauge. It makes the job SO much easier.
Everything else seems to be in order for tomorrow. I just have to paint my toenails before I go to bed. When the shoes and socks come off at the end of the race, soggy from mud and water, it's nice to have a little varnish on your nails-to hide the water-logged blue underneath.
