I have just returned from my last tapering jog in mild nor-westery conditions. My next run will be in the Blue Mountains. The pre-race tension has been overshadowed by anxiety over my expired passport which was seen to be out of date when I went to sort out visas last week. Getting a new passport in 3 days has been a touch and go challenge - I never knew bureacracy could be such an extreme sport.
Everyone else is all excited and the family are eagerly anticipating 5 days out of school. The weather for Saturday and Sunday in Katoomba are forecast as cool, possibly slight frost but sunny during the day. It seems strange to go to Australia for it to be cooler than it is here in NZ.
All things are lookng promising. I feel good, I have no injuries, I have remembered to pack my shoes and the rest of my checklist is now ticked.
All systems go.
Ka kite.
