The 9th of August is starting to loom.  The Goodwood Roller Marathon is due to take place at the Goodwood motor racing circuit.  The race is over 11 laps (26.62 miles / 42.84 km) which was won last year in 1hr 17min at an average speed of 20.7mph!

I fared slightly worse than that, taking 1hr 55min (average of 13.88mph). So this year I am preparing, by doing some training and ensuring that I have a chance of getting under 1hr 45min with a personal goal of sub 1:40.

So today at 05:30 I completed 4 laps of Dorney Lake (approx 20km) in a bit less than an hour.  I will have to do better than that if I want to get the fast time. 

So more training….
