That was just pure bad luck.<br />You are also used to getting out there, like Andrew said, and keeping going in adverse conditions and when things aren't going well. At least you have got to know the tricks your mind may play on you so you can be aware of them,which is to your advantage.<br />I think you will certainly be a lot fitter and better prepared that a lot of other guys out there and I am looking forwards to reading your complete race report!Steph Cookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00774582839721072627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-607679230499437199.post-37526540642816312852010-02-05T22:00:32.124+00:002010-02-05T22:00:32.124+00:00Rich, I think that these last minute doubts are pe...Rich, I think that these last minute doubts are perfectly normal and part of being human- I was a nervous wreck before MdS and was convinced I'd get ill or injured and not be able to go!<br />Like Andrew said, you have done the MdS, you did the Augrabies and like you say there is very little chance you will get sick again.

You've done the MDS. You...Stay positive mate. You've done the MDS. You've done all the training. You've inspired me a hundred times to keep going when I've been wavering - not going out because of the weather, or halfway round when I've been considering a short cut back. You are an unstoppable force.AndrewMnoreply@blogger.com
