Just got my first pre-event email. Very exciting! What is not so exciting is reading about all the things I need to carry during the run, including 1.5-2 liters of water...yikes...wasn't planning on that. I've been doing long runs with water, but not nearly that much, which means I need to make some adjustments quickly! Looks like Saturday I'll be making my way up to REI, Lukes, or Backwoods to look at camelbaks.. :/ along with the other items which are mandatory to run with.
On the bright side, The race is giving the marathoners a HUGE amount of time to finish this race. 8 hours and 15 minutes! At my typical pace, if I could actually keep it up the entire time, I would get in around 5.5 hours. Hopefully, if I'm able to finish, I'll get in sub-seven. To finish is to win!
I'm getting excited for you!
