Don't mistake hard work for poor performance/preparation.<br /><br />You have done the work. Albeit over a shorter period of time than I am used to but you are way faster than me :))))<br /><br />Can't wait to see how you go and how you feel about the race. There is always another one...just don't use that as your mantra during the race to give you an excuse to give up. Push yourself right to the very edge.<br />PS. Love your photos!!!Clairiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02278301052672532589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34739089.post-57392548573416590262011-10-24T23:48:52.348+09:002011-10-24T23:48:52.348+09:00Based on your twitter persona I'd say you have...Based on your twitter persona I'd say you have a pretty clear view on most things.

Just make it feel like you haven't done much until 30k, then go for it.<br /><br />Yes, nice video - good shot of the sky and the road ;) And yes Rick, I would out-kick the bastard (if I started 200m from the finish). I'm guessing the subtitles say "Daddy, you're running like a girl!"<br /><br />Another thing, you need to lose those 80s style mini shorts. Something between what Api's wearing and yours would fit the bill.Ewenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093209634556111656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34739089.post-4921536802769977422011-10-24T08:01:27.386+09:002011-10-24T08:01:27.386+09:00good luck in osaka next week. look out for that gi...good luck in osaka next week. look out for that ginger blokeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34739089.post-53208964688642288162011-10-24T02:16:58.906+09:002011-10-24T02:16:58.906+09:00I like your attitude - "... but the last 10K ...I like your attitude - "... but the last 10K will be interesting."<br /><br />That spells either a great time or a disaster.

As you say everything ok to 30k and a bit of an experiment after that. Looking forward to the outcome. You're looking lean and ready for the challenge.

Well, I hope you have a good run. Actually, the last 10k are ALWAYS interesting.<br /><br />It was pretty warm today...so that was a decent time.
