Wave 6 here as well, not sure what time the two from the RW forum are i would imagine one was earlier and the other later probably.

Thank you. I will try! What was your strategy with the LDWA event?
I’ve not done any LDWA (yet) I did my first 100k in 2021 and The Wall in 2022 I didn’t have a strategy as such but drank and ate regularly from the off (something I’m not good at - I’ve not got alerts on my watch every 30min for a snack something small a jelly sweet, something savoury - bite sized things) and drink at least then but more regularly if it’s hot - I tend to drink to thirst and only small amounts
I ran when I could but conscious not to do too much and walk when I needed too and generally walk hills. Someone said to me if you think you’re going too slow, slow down it’s a long way don’t burn out too soon.
I listen to my body and check in. On the 100k I ignored the foot and by time I stopped at 26m I had a huge blister (soaking wet feet) and I had dry socks and blister treatment I should have stopped and dealt with it, by 35m they had to burst it. Not good at all. I’m much better now at sorting issues out when I notice them.
Talk to fellow crazies, enjoy the scenery and work on your why to keep you motivated & moving forward. Oh and don’t spend too long at aid stations that is one thing I’ll change next time.

Cool! Thanks Pothunter Have you got a time in mind?
I’ve set myself a nominal target of 6 hours, but looking at the weather forecast that may be optimistic! I’ve assured MrsPH that I will be sensible!
Primary goal is to finish in one piece

Based on a 40 mile run from a decade ago i could do it in under 6 hours but i am less fast these days plus this one requires navigating not merely running around a lake 10 times.
So erm 7-9 hours depending on how hot i get. The two RW people were on for a 8:10 start but one has enquired about starting with me.

Any guidance on how to download a GPX file to my Garmin watch?
It's downloaded to my laptop but don't know how to get it onto my Garmin as laptop is saying it doesn't know which software to use?
