The day starts with a little swim in the canyon, fantastic, wet feet within the first hour of the race!
But don't be a-feared(don't think this is word, I made it up).....you've got another 7+ hours for your shoes to dry, before you crawl up dune 45.
The race organisers are really kind people, they make you run for 7/8 hours and then they make you run up an HUGE dune. NICE! And then you are finished. YOU ARE FINISHED and so is the long day.
How is it possible that time can fly so so quickly! It feels like just yesterday that my colleague and friend, Colette, baked me this amazing Desert Cake after I completed the NDC 2011.
Collie, I hope I get another one this year........
The training for NDC is done, now it's taper time and time to pack my bag and sort out last minute things.
Going to do the last bit of shopping this weekend and work on my game plan.
My friend DGT wanted to know - exactly what does "game plan" mean. Am I planning to win?
No no, planning to finish the race.
"game plan" to me means - when to eat what, what to do when I wake up, what to do when I finish each day etc. It may seem silly, but last year I was so tired that I forgot about silly small things.
Like vaseline before the day starts......
Aaight, 'till next week.
