- Chippewa race report will be late, very late
- The chapter for SLG's book will also take a little longer than planned
- After more than 30 trips through Amsterdam airport I actually stepped outside the door last Thursday to breathe Dutch air for the first time
- That was followed by my first visit to Belgium and the north east corner of France
- I know the Eurostar schedule by heart
- But that's useless information if it's fully booked
- The Eurotunnel car-train takes exactly 35 minutes; which, you have to think is quicker than swimming across
- Countless hotels and other travel related businesses are making a mint on the back of a volcano
- Despite this, the kindness of strangers is what I'll remember most from my travels at the end of last week
- That, and the fact that "daily disposable" contact lenses still work perfectly well after 5 days
- And having no luggage is not the end of the world
- At least not when you are lucky enough to get the loan of a lovely dress for a very important occasion at very short notice
- After 40 hours without sleep, you will sleep anywhere
- 40 hours is still waay shorter than most people take to do Arrowhead...
- I have undertaken zero physical exercise since last Wednesday
- And I now have a bad headcold so I don't plan on doing any in the next few days either
- Miwok in less than 2 weeks? I am not so sure that's a good idea
- Though I suppose I should first think about actually getting back to the US
- But before that, sleep...
