You won't regret entering its a great day
Ah good to hear its a good'un... training going well apart from missing the long run on sunday due to a horrendous hangover! picked up some of it with 16km Mon evening... that was struggle enough!
Hills will be interesting... do you find they cost you much time overall? or can you make up the time lost on the downhills? I seem to think you can never make up as much on the downhills. We have been running quite a few hills this year so hopefully get the body conditioned well.
30km mark is hard enough without up hill, head wind, poor training thrown in!
How has the taper gone pels - feeling confident?
Good luck for Sat!!!
