It’s almost here . . .
The race is so close now, I’m beyond nerves, just counting down the hours and compiling endless lists - Tuesday: cut toenails (don’t do it too close to race in case they’re still sore) Wednesday: bake oat biscuits for race etc etc
I’ve created a race map - since the route is mostly off-road and there are few runners it’s going to be very easy to get lost. I scanned in the two huge OS maps, printed out the sections I need, drew the route on with highlighter and stuck them back together and covered them with sticky back plastic so I can run with them in bad weather. It still covers seven A4 sheets!
