The time is near. Sharon Kearney you will be happy to know Phil has me organised :-). Race pack picked up, race briefing done and race plan set. As any Ultra runner knows we have to plan for any conditions. Well mine for this race is now enjoying most likely most of the 100km in the rain. A waterproof jacket has been set for our mandatory gear, so that sets the hydration pack option plan in place. I know my Saucony Trail shoes will be my best friend. They have done well in wet conditions in the past.

Now ready for a good nights rest ready for that start line. Many thanks to all the messages of best wishes from family and friends. There is lots of excitement in the air and the rain will not change that. Reminder, we are 3 hours in front of you all back home. So while you are still dreaming, I will be at the start line visualising the finishing line. I will be looking forward to the thermal pools at that finishing line.

Love My Running :-).
