OMG it’s real now! I‘ve actually done it

trevor.george (67)in #ultramarathon • 7 years ago

I’ve been talking about it, and planning for it, but there was always a way to back out, to change my mind, to come to my senses.

But no longer.

The money has been paid, the booking made, the train set in motion.

At some stupid hour in the early morning, on a freezing Wellington winter’s day, I will be joining others who like me, have lost their sanity, in running for 60kms across the Wellington hills.

I must be mad.

This will be my first ultra-marathon, coming just a month after I completed my first marathon.

It will be epic. It will be brutal. It will be freezing bloody cold. It will be windy. It will probably be wet. It will also be loads of fun (at least I hope so).

So stay tuned to this blog for progress reports. I’m going to try some interesting stuff out between now and race day. So be prepared for anything.

Also don't forget to check out my Dad's blog

Who else can tell you stories about impersonating an officer, stealing a military aircraft to go on a booze run, or steal military aircraft and go on an unsanctioned bombing run - and that's all before he turned 18!

Check out @len.george and find out what other madness he got up to!

Hahaha. I'm sure you'll be fine, bro. Just remember to stretch, stay hydrated, maybe take some speed...Wait, scratch that last part.

Seriously though, I'm sure you'll be just fine. You've got this, dude!

hehe thanks :-)
It's going to be really interesting. it's a completely different race to a marathon. And I can train on the course because it runs near my house.
So, while I won't win it, I have a good chance of getting to the end.

really talking it's look like a rap lyrics to me and the rhyme is like this :

The money has been paid, the booking made, the train set in motion.

At some stupid hour in the early morning, on a freezing Wellington winter’s day, I will be joining others who like me, have lost their sanity, in running for 60kms across the Wellington hills. but you are really setting the tone here.
