Brief Sawtooth

Sorry for the delay - no coverage for my Nexus plus not wanting to post right when I got home this afternoon. The short: I DNFd - didn't make the cutoff at County Road 6 due to some severe hyperventilating coming into Tettegouche and less severe continuing of it. Clearly not what I wanted but my first DNF is over, now. More details to follow.

Here we go!

T - 10 hours! I have my drop bags packed and dropped off at packet pick up. I decided on small tupperwares to pack my gel, ginger, and s-caps in. That way, I won't have to worry too much about something going wrong with my crew and I won't have to try and calculate how much gel I should grab.

The pre-race briefing has been attended. I have my number and ankle chip. My crew bag is ready to go. My extra clothes are sorted (bag for long sleeves, bag for short sleeves and shorts, bag for socks/hats/sleeves/etc). All that's left to do is sleep and then wake up and start this thing. I'm excited but mostly I'm feeling ready and not too nervous right now (though was crazy nervous earlier in the day). I will try to post to facebook and here sometime Saturday night, depending on coverage and such. Here we go! Rar!
