12 Jun 2013 – closer

getting closer and closer. staying relatively calm about it all, but hard to completely stop the anticipation building…

did my final run this morning – short row tomorrow, rest Friday, another short row Saturday and then it will be time to put all this preparation to good use!

I tried out a water bottle belt this morning – it was a little uncomfortable and ended in disaster for the water bottle cap. The bottle fell out and the cap got cracked.

So I’ll be carrying my bottle of home-made sports drink in my hand as per usual. I’ve carried it 32km before, so I’m sure it’ll be fine for 42km.
