Julian, Matt, Art, Goatboy, Puskas, thanks, very, very, informative and helpful! I think I've got a good handle on how to structure the training and how to mentally begin the race plans. The discussion has also given my training motivation a bump. The hope is to NOT make wieght as a clyde and find the blessed anonymity of a 13hr 45-49 AG'r.

Kind Regards!

Chappy
