      You’ll smash it! It’s such a big mental game , be prepared to push yourself but also enjoy the day as you have trained hard for the day so don’t forget when you feel the pain just smile it’s a simple trick to keep you going

    I was supposed to do this one! But I pulled it in the last 2 weeks and my husband did it with little to no training - but he's a stubborn shit. Lol. I am doing it this year - but have gained 20kg in the last 2 years which has sucked... hoping to drop off the weight as my Dad is coming down with my uncle from Boston who will be doing it with me... nervous excited.

      Haha sometimes stubbornness is a great motivation,
      It’s going to be an even bigger year this year and I’m so excited to run it again, and all the finishers will get an automatic entry when they become a major and how good is that!
