Challenge 7x7 has entered it's 7th and final month which means on Sunday I am tackling the Kurrawa the D'bah and back 50km run.
I have to admit I am a little scared about this one as I have not been running or riding well lately. Something to do with a serious case of burn-out I suppose.
This will be the 5th consecutive year that I have run the K2D and every year so far I have gone faster than the year before. Given my loss of mojo I have serious doubts about my ability to continue this trend on Sunday. My only chance is to run my smartest 50km ever. The past couple of years I haven't really run this race too smart and have gone out a bit too hard early on. Mind you it's hard not to when Rebekah Keat is beside me, half wheeling me the whole time!
Bek is always into me for not eating enough but that's difficult when she is pushing me so hard. This year she is in Canberra for the Half Ironman so I will run my own pace and have Ben, Gus and The Zebra making sure I get plenty of food along the way. Then if everything goes well, I have worked out that I may just be able to sneak in a fraction faster than last year. Fingers crossed.
