Wow, October is here and in half an hour or so I'll be leaving for thetford for the dusk till dawn mtb enduro; 12 hours, 8pm till 8am.
I didnt quite make my 100 miles, just over 90 in the end, but Tracie is revising for her year 2 final exam in her law degree so time was as abundant as possible.
I'd been very worried about my back in the build up to the race so last night I went and got a sports massage with a side of acupucnture thrown in. It seems to have done the trick - walking to a local shopfor a few last minute bits wasnt painfull at all, aside from the soreness from the needles and massage itself!
Never having had acupuncture, I was very suprised to learn just how big the needles are and how deep they penetrate - the ones in my back and buttock where in around 8cm! I have to say there was no pain at all when they where in and only a little tingle as they went in too.
Conditions for the race shopuld be interesting, theres been a fair bit of rain and light rain/showers are forecast for the race but we'll have to see, after racing the bontrager 24/12 in the rain im alot less bothered by it now. Im aiming to do atleast four laps. ( around 45 miles )
Right, Im gonna get my stuff together - i'll post a report when I get home sunday!
wish me luck!
