Final prep

No running today. I got myself some gels for the weekend (I keep telling people to practise using the gels in training - obviously I haven't done that...).

The forecast for my leg of the race is looking pretty good. Temps of 10 degrees and wind speed of 7 mph (which I think I'll be running into - isn't that always the case). No rain which is nice. The plan is to 6 minute mile (3:44/km pace). Certainly not slouching around - 2hr37 marathon pace! They say you don't hit the wall until 20 miles and I'm only doing 19.67 miles so I should be fine. I'll get round but it may get ugly after 90 minutes.

A few beers tonight and then up early in the morning for the trip to Norwich.
