I'm not really scared about not finishing but I have a feeling it will be a crap time unless I can finally shed this chest cold. You'll do fine. My tips are: line up appropriately at the start, drink when they offer it, bring a gel to have at the halfway point. If the race is local, ride your bike on the course a week or two beforehand (yes, this weekend!) for familiarization.
Thanks, I only taken gels when I've biked because I was scared of how they would react with me running but I suppose I should try a couple out before the actual race. Bike the course before the race?! You realize that I am in Minnesota right?
Do they not sell winter riding gear in MN?
They do but I'd have to throw fatties on my bike. I don't think my bike is meant for that :/ I wouldn't worry about biking the course at all, especially given the MN factor. I don't ever bike the course and it's worked out so far. I WOULD be sure to try ANY/EVERYTHING you plan to do at the race beforehand. It's terrible idea to try something for the first time on race day, especially nutrition related things. The point was to become familiar with the course. That can increase your comfort level. If the race is local, an easy bike of the course gives a good sense it -- probably a better sense of driving the course or just looking at it on paper. And definitely what you said -- nothing new on race day! I know, I was just messing about. I should however at least figure out what city it is in before the race. |

But a new adopt a pet store has opened up and I heard a dog barking as I left the mall yesterday so i popped in and there was Bomber. A big dog - got too big so his owners didn't want him and he's confused as to why he's suddenly and orphan. I need to take DH to see this boy - he is GORGEOUS and he will be a runner! |

I've just found the "Big Fat Quiz of the Year" shows on youtube, never seen them before but these are kind of addicting. Edited by mn_av8or 2013-03-01 3:31 PM |

That's probably a lot of food for most people before a 20-miler, but go for it!
I don't think there is anything to worry about. Those athlete tracking sites are BS. |
