Roomed with Ling, a lovely bloke from Singapore last night. Helped him with his kit list. He had things like fluffy hello kitty slippers and seven changes of underwear. Had to go.. Absolutely hilarious, he only signed up to do this less than a month ago so is HUGELY nervous and doesn't know what to expect.
I have a feeling the 70 km stage on day three might ruin us both! Apparantly some bloke last year set off at 8am on the long stage and didn't get in until 5pm the following day. Ouch. Which explains why it is dragged over two days, some people need the time! Really hope that isn't me this year. If you finish the stage on the same day you get the whole of the next day to recover in the natural hot springs at the campsite.
All very exciting, we've had kit checks and are about to drive 5 hours into the highlands for the start of the race which is 8am tomorrow morning. Might be able to stick a few pictures up on here as we go along but don't expect anything. My next post could well be a summary of the event one I'm back in England.
See you all on the other side!
