Well it’s only 20 days to go so I’m trying to figure out what to eat on the day. This will all go out the window as soon as the gun goes off, but it pays to be prepared……. Basically I’m writing this because in the later parts of the race I won’t be able to think for myself, but if I know what I’m SUPPOSED to be doing I’ll be ok.<\/p>\n
After talking with a friend today, I realised it isn’t very clear where all this stuff is coming from-
\nCheckpoints will provide-
\nEndura sports drink (pre mixed)

Drink 500ml Endura, take a 500ml bottle with me. Eat a piece of fruit if you can. Piss off and finish the race.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This means I’ll need to carry from the start of the race to checkpoint 3- And I’ll need to pack the following Checkpoint 4 bag<\/span> extra mandatory gear if required<\/p>\n Checkpoint 5 bag<\/span> Well it’s only 20 days to go so I’m trying to figure out what to eat on the day.
