Status: Preparing for the next week….

The countdown is on, there are 5 days to go until I take on the biggest challenge of my life, I feel scared, nervous, unfit but mentally prepared to take on the Comrades. To keep the legs moving and the joints free I went for a light jog, it won’t do much for my stamina levels but will allow me to keep everything moving along for now.

I took to Colonel into Port Shepstone to my good friend Bryan Taylors workshop at M&F Tractor Parts and finished off the installation of my fridge. Its so much better than the last one, smaller, quieter, more efficient and even has a cute little freezer for emergency beer-chilling!

Had dinner with Bryan, Nicolene and his parents and went to bed.

Another day of vehicle maintenance tomorrow….
