Ed. This is a double posting from my personal blog at Tapaninaho.com.
Oi, one night to go. Writing this on the road to Edinburgh, Scotland. Darina is driving.
Physical preparation may not have gone to the original plan as I mentioned earlier, but I still feel pretty good. Or, actually, this weeks prep has gone to plan; couple of fun runs and a tough one last Sunday. Nice. Dad came yesterday and went for one with him.
I haven’t really thought of how it’ll feel that much. Just that it’ll be about 15k more than the longest I’ve ever run. And that, once broken down should be quite ok, it’s really only 27 nice kilometers plus a 10k and a measly 5k to finish it off. Not bad, right?
We’ll see around 12:00 tomorrow when I hit the 32k mark.
Did I mention the shirt I’ll be running in? It’s an Adidas ClimaCool that was given to me by Conor, Daragh and Niamh, and the print was done by Jennifer. Thanks to all of you!
If it happens you’re in Edinburgh tomorrow watching the race you can spot me carrying the number 5552. Or more easily by the Finnish flag on my chest:
As is Brighton, I’ll be live tweeting the race. You can follow me at twitter.com/kristian from 09:00 onwards. Send me some tweets of encouragement!
