Just 4 days to go.
This week has been quite cruisy. It is tempting to think that shorter runs means that with the extra time available you (i.e. me) can compensate by frequent snacking so a lock on the pantry door is not a bad idea.
Today hit the ominous temperature of 28 degrees, from which the air conditioning at work provided delicious relief. Funny how in NZ we spend half the year complaining how cold it is, only to complain how hot it is for the other half. Therefore , this means that it will definitely be either a) hot for the run , or b) not hot. Not hot means a cold Southerly in my face ( +/- rain/hail/snow) whereas hot will probably be a dry nor-west wind.
My support crew of Noel Morriss and possibly son John are nearly ready too. The aim is to travel Friday to Hanmer Springs, camp at the start , ready for the 8 am start on Saturday. Noel and John will stop in the van every 8-10 km to proffer food and water, take photos and fix blisters. The running is sometimes the easy bit. The Beat-Bowel-Cancer-Aotearoa supporters will be at Hanmer distributing leaflets and running the information stand.
Best Regards.
