The weather has definitely turned. This morning I pulled on last year’s thick Oceans t-shirt which I can only wear in the winter. On our run most of the club’s talk focused on Oceans which is next week, the preparations, meals, novices nerves etc. For me this race is a training run that must be completed carefully and without injury. I need to finish with enough confidence that I feel can run another 30km on top of the 56km course, and not finish so fast that I am unable to train the following week. We shall see next Saturday.
