The Anticipation

Well,

I am getting all my stuff ready for Lost Soul this weekend, well for Friday. I leave tomorrow afternoon for the drive down to Lethbridge with a couple of friends. I know what to expect in many ways from the adventure racing I have done and also from the other ultras this year. However I am still running around like a nervous idiot, I can tell my wife is getting fed up with me but to bad for her. I am leaving straight from work so I have to bring all my gear with me and hope I don't leave something at home. I have packed the clothes, the 3 pairs of shoes and a big bag full of different foods.

The food issue will be my most challenging because I never know what I am going to want during the race. It will change through out the run, I will get real tired of sweet snacks, like gels, sharkies, etc.. I just hope that the aid stations will have some good food, more solid food.

It will be nice when I am on my final lap because my wife is going to run it with me, all 53kms of it. We will probably be starting that last lap around midnight so that company will be very nice in all those dark hours.

I will try and keep track of what I ate for the 100 miles and let you all know. I am also curious as to how many calories I will consume during the run.

Later.
