Yesterday I sent my payment for this years Spartathlon a grand total of 400 Euros for me and another 540 Euros for a room upgrade to a double room and Sue to get full board for the 6 days too.
I did think of waiting a week or so as the exchange rate may get better but it may also all go a bit wonky in greece so I just decided as I had just got paid to just pay it and get it out of the way so it’s done and dusted.
It is all getting a bit close now and although it’s still months away I really need to be getting my training in order and really build on my speed and endurance. With the cut offs being so tight early on I need to be fast enough to cruise a sub 9Hr 50 miles and still be able to plod out a good 100 miles time of inside 27 hours over hills and tracks.
Not worried at all then. But it is all booked now, just the flights to sort next month then its all done and I have to go through with it. Just GUCR to get out of the way first and hopefully in a time better than last year to show my training is heading in the right direction.
Thats enough of my ramblings, back to your work/dinner etc.
