Comrades Tracking

The race isn't until June 3rd, but I leave on today, so you probably won't be seeing many posts until I return.

You can track the race here:

I'm bib 47580

I'm not doing this total unprepared, but I'll be gutting it out, at least in the latter miles. Due to nagging injuries earlier in the year, I didn't get in the type of training base I wanted. I've run an 18 and a 20, but nowhere near what I'd want for a 56 mile run. Luckily, I've been on the bike and in the pool a lot, so the cardio base is there. I've also toughed out some pretty brutal races in the past, so I'm prepared mentally. Add in the downhill year and cooler temps and I think I'll be ok, but I won't lie that I have a slight fear of not making the 12 hour cut-off.

The race starts at 5:30 am local time, which translates to 10:30 PM (June 2). In reality, I guess you can just check the results the next day, as I'll have to finish by 10:30 am Texas time.
