I'm strangely nervous about tomorrow. I know it's only 2.5m (x2!) but there will only be a max of 50 runners per leg (only 45 teams last year I think).
I'm sure my 12mm pace will be last.
I have a lovely casserole (loadsa spuds!) for tea tonight and 2 glasses of wine. I'm now on the non-alcoholic fluids. The lucozade is ready to make and I'm still not sure what to wear!
I was going for shorts and vest. Then capri legs and crop top/vest but I'm not sure! If I'm cold/cool I will run faster! But then I don't want to burn up and crash or freeze waiting for the start. If I wear layers will I be too hot .... blah blah blah. Help!!
Still not sure what to do "gadget wise". Just watch and guess extra mileage, GPS and stop/start with each warm up, race and cool down, HRM and GPS or just HRM and watch!??!! I'm thinking that I will do leg 1 (1.5m) as a warm up leaving before the race to make sure I am ready. Then stop for some stretches and strides. Then race. Then 5mins jog cool down. Then another 5mins warm up, race and then leg 10 (1.5m) as a cool down. That would be 8.5-9m. I think I will just do the watch. No time to log on tomorrow morning so no need to comment!
I will provide a full race report tomorrow night as hubby is working so I'll be about! (Race, shower, roast, wine, blog and bed!)
