It’s the weekend at last!!! And that means no rowing, no weight lifting, active recovery and lots of food!!!!! We are very happy!

Waking up on the edge of a woody park on a fresh Saturday morning was delicious. Then along came Mark Tekkers and Rob from Muddy Race, bearing a pair of nail clippers – the beginning of a great day. (We forgot to pack nail clippers in #vanlife). You know it’s a simple life when I am happy about that.

MT and I have missed running since training for the row so looking forward to a muddy 5km trail parkrun.

– Mr Mouse plays the banjo, plucking a single note, whilst reciting a song/poem/something. The room is so quiet, you could hear a pin drop.
– We fall asleep in the van after a surreal evening, listening to the sound of the Ghost Squad chanting and banging drums and the Tough Guy flags flapping in the wind.
I’m not sure what tomorrow holds but if it’s anything like today, we are in for a treat!
