Running

Just getting my last few bits together now then on the train up there. gonna wander over this eve to grab my pack and will be opting for the 6am start I think.

last year it was blazing sun with weird thunderstorms that blew in from nowhere every hour or so so was taking my rain jacket on off the whole time, so probably not much change there this year. will probably be hot enough I'll just let myself get wet this time though I'll have my waterproof jacket just in case it gets really bad.

only annoying thing is if it rains there's a bit after the black swan lake area that was torturous when it had a thin layer of wet mud on it as it's a long narrow trail lined with nettles and it was like trying to run along a slip and slide covered in washing up liquid, was actually really happy it'd be bone dry along there this year, it was like something off a japanese game show. hopefully it doesnt get too wet.

turns out there will be route stickers again now but you shouldn't rely on them, they're handy for when you get tired and don't want to run staring at your watch the whole time though.

will pm you my no just in case you're about but otherwise catch you at the race at some point (even if you start at 8am you'll catch me by halfway probably hah).
