Countdown to the Tring2Town
By Andreas | February 1, 2008
The weather forecast says it’s going to be cold tomorrow. Very cold. -1 to +5 degrees for forty long, long miles. At least it’s supposed to be mostly sunny. I’ll carry plenty of extra layers of warm clothing in my backpack, especially for after the race when the body is working hard on adjusting temperature.
Being just two weeks away from the Thames Meander, the The Tring2Town is a great preparation for the big event, last chance for some real life testing of the backpack and my XXL-sized trail shoes.
I am a bit nervous, like on all my ultra races, but I am looking forward to it quite a bit. It’s the anticipation to a race that gives direction to my training, and it is the sense of achievement after a race that motivates to set new goals, so racing is part of my running life. Wish me good luck tomorrow along the Grand Union Canal!
