Pre race prep...... and not the bananas

I’m leathered, done 6 bottles of Estrella and a nice bottle of red. Time for my pit, see you all on the other side.

Good luck everyone.

Just a reminder that, for those of us running in miles, 10k = 6.214 miles. It also tends to round down, so I stop my watch at 6.23 which means it then displays as 6.22.

Just saying this so nobody ends up accidentally recording a few metres short of the full distance!

Twat....

I’ve just opened a bottle of red, not looking good for tomorrow.

What kind of an idiot would do such a thing?

Been out and ladies and gentlemen we have oue first fail!

Been suffering from man flu the past few days. Watch wasn't charged, pace was abysmal but too quick for me so had to dig in to get to 5km.

Next time maybe!

Yes Iron cowboy.....but I’m not sure whether doing the indoor swims and bike rides really counts... still I’ve done a half distance in bad weather so wouldn’t do a full one in a hurricane!!

Off on a slow trail run with my running group so not entering the race good luck everyone.

I’m just having an excellent first morning dump, can’t start running until I’ve had my second visit. I’ll keep you all updated. ;-)

I think this ought to be filed under “Too much information “.

It’s just your feet seem to go one in front of the other a lot quicker than the rest of us ;-)
Great time mate. I can only dream.

There was a chance some didn’t know about this and I was hoping to catch them out lol.

Me. Last Friday when testing my route it was 30 metres short. So some adjustments needed today. What tolerance is allowed?

Zero. I’m turning the Strava alerts on so it’ll tell me when I’ve done the official 10k although it’ll likely be slightly more than 10k due to GPS accuracy.

Countdown begins

 

[jay_mcfc]

I forgot what a competitive twat I was. The mere mention of a race and I knock nearly 3 mins off my pb.
Anyway I suggest next time we do a weight handicap since I was 104kg before I set off!

Oh yes, seconded - weight handicaps sound like a great idea!
