      Race day on Sunday and putting the final pieces of the puzzle together. Temps will be around 35F at the start climbing to 43F (by finish hopefully). Spent the last week trying out different combinations of running gear/clothing to figure out what will work and not. I spent one day and went to the race site to run the more technical side of the race to find that it is in worse shape than last year with more rocks, roots, and other trip hazards. Today was my last training run and felt pretty good.

      Tomorrow is a rest day 🙂

        @goosehd What we all want to know is will you be running this race in a pair of UHR with some Wescos on feet?

          @GardenState Great question and sadly, I don’t think I’m ready yet. Maybe next time 😂

            You got this @goosehd ! Just know you got a bunch of stubborn denim loving weirdo’s rooting for you if you ever hit the wall. Though I’m sure you’ll have plenty of support in person.

            Snap a fit pic if you end up sneaking in some IH for your run fit 🤙🏽

            I'm as ugly as you

                  @Nik The girls are going to run the 7.5k which is the same as last year. In many ways, I wish that i was joining them as family running is special and I enjoy seeing the girls improve reaching their own personal milestones. My thoughts are to return to family runs after tomorrow for future events.

                  As for me, I’m hoping to run 2:40 (conditions in my favour) to 3:30. I will consider it a success, as long as I finish and not come away beaten up. Thankfully 25km’s isn’t far enough to do too much damage and I feel like I’ve put in the time to avoid serious mishaps.

                  Also big thanks to you guys as I’ve watched my diet this past week balancing carbs and proteins. My current hydration level feels good and worked out trail nutrition as well. Plan to fuel more throughout the race to avoid the dreaded wall.

                  Thank you all for the words of encouragement and advice. Tomorrow should be fun.

                      @J-IV of course there’s IH 🙂 A little under 2 hours to start and just getting ready to walk out the door. See you guys in a few.

                                      Very cool. So it looks like everyone ha da good day out running?
                                      You look like you're putting in a good effort, that's where the real fun is.
                                      Looking forward to your race report too.
                                      Awesome that you came in within your goal, that must feel good?

                                        @Nik Feels good and disappointing at the same time. Completely different beast today from my normal training and I was NOT prepared. The north loop was more technical than I was led to believe and pushed me routinely out of my comfort zone. The trip hazards got me multiple times with more than a few falls. I also caught myself a few times which hurt just as much as hitting the ground.

                                        Completely agree with you guys about training for the conditions of the race. The only reason I was able to finish was the conditioning built up over the last 10 months but my performance would have improved with the proper training.

                                        I can honestly say that I did not have any reserves left at the end of the race as you can tell by the grimace 😬 I’m too stubborn to quit, but someone would have been told to get bent if there was a mistake and a additional kilometre was needed 🙂

                                        Right now, I will say that I will not run this race again…a week from now may be a different story. 🙂

                                        @Tago-Mago The girls did awesome and knocked 7 minutes off of their time from last year and I think that they all had fun. At least no one is killing each other at the moment 😂

                                          A race is the best way to learn, and it sounds like you learned a lot. Mostly that you have the guts to finish even when it is hard. Great stuff.
