Only 2 days before the race ,
we found a place to crash 5 mn walk away from the starting line .
The expo is well located but small … no much things to do there
Sunday Race day :
We had Kathy, our Australian CS and HASH buddy, staying with us ,
we all decided to wake up at 5 am
Breakfast – Coffee – Dressed up for a cool not too hot perfect day run
Weather has been nice the last couple as well as on the Due Day…
We head to starting line , Drop our bags at the appropriate numbered bus and walk around taking picts
Free marathon Singlets and Caps are giving away , we grabbed some ..then I ran back to the Lodge to drop them.
There are 3 waves …A.B.C …3 of us are in the same paddlock …
we talk about expected time but I asked if we can wait for each other in order to take a Photo of the 3 together on the Bridge…
Gun start is late …we start uphill and slow…1km in 8 mn …
take my requested picts and we all go our own pace.
I let myself go ..
I don’t have a time in mind and I purposely left my running belt
and bottles at the B&B
not to mentally hold me back forcing to drink …Run free .. Feeling First….
My pace is very fluid …
running at 5 mn a Km… quite a bit faster then usual …
