Thank you everyone for your support.  The bike is racked, the transition bags are in place and ready, the wetsuit and vaseline (ooo-err) are prepared for the morning, I just have to bring it and smash it.  It truly heartens me to get the support from people off here including those I have not even met face to face :y

I drove the bike course today......ouch!  The supposed heartbreak hill looks easy compared to other climbs, especially coming out of Saundersfoot and Wiseman's Bridge (half a mile of 17% incline!)

There is a tracker you can use throughout the day which will show you the times I post when I go over the timing mats.  My race number is 756:

Good Luck Guffer.  :y

Under-steer is when the front of the car hits the wall, and over-steer is when the rear of the car hits the wall.
Power is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how much of the wall you take with you.

If any one wants to follow Guffers progress then here is a link.
http://www.ironman.com/triathlon/coverage/athlete-tracker.aspx?race=wales&y=2013#axzz2eHfiJArZ
Enter 756 into "Enter last name or Bib No."
I am not sure how often it is updated........

You can still support Guffers in his charity :y :y
