Fantastic. Especially as it's not quite the same weather as the training.

Well it’s ultra month!!!! 25 days to go.

Foot seems to be fixed, I am planning a B2B this weekend and long next weekend then taper time. Can’t believe it’s here already.

Steph is definitely an inspiration doing that run on her own is incredible. I hope she’s recovered well DT & you were a great support crew too.

I did the B2B last week 16 & 7.5. Both testing out NSW trsiners.

Left foot liked inov8, right foot didn’t. Tried merrells both feet put up with them.

Last long run today (22.5) I wore the merrells I can get an extra insole in the left foot, and I taped both feet. It helped. So merrells & tape it is a I know my right foot prefers vibrams.

It was a crap run, sorting out foot issues, hair issues, weather issues, and ran out of water (my route was not easily accessible to shops like I thought it might be)

Ended off back at the town centre to see a young woman (20’s) under a bus quite literally I can only presume the bus was turning right and she was on a bike/walking and he hadn’t seen her it knocked me for 6.

So I’m hoping that is the awful stuff out the way and race day will click into place.

I don’t know rhb she appears meld conscious as I went past. As I don’t live in the area we were just there for the weekend I haven’t heard anything. I do hope so. And the driver regardless of fault I expect he / she would be very shaken.
