Transitions ... Over the Moon!

Running philosophy
Enjoy the race, the destination is vital but the experience matters the most.

Running approach
Hydrating in earnest from today. Eating pattern changed last Weds evening, no alcohol since Monday when I had a light glass of beer at a function.
Tomorrow is rest day, combined with a relaxed 3km run, one of my neighbours will accompany me - the running fever seems to be spreading.

Running pals
My running pals are staying at home, we shall have a nice past dinner together and watch some television. Early bed and we shall be driven to the start.

Running strategy
Start slow, enjoy the scenary, feel the love handles (yes, those little hills that will make us sweat and hate the bloody race), energy gel, a big of laughter and get into the "zone". Build strength as we approach the unknown (post 32kms).
Run kilometre by kilometre, not the whole race in one go.

Running gear
For Christ sake... do all caps have to have an imprint of the brand? Forced to buy one but I am considering ironing off the bloody label ... All set and ready to go, including a skin waist pouch.

Mental preparation
Awesome. Sharp and focused.

Mental game
None; I am not into that sort of game.

Injury
Still there. SS if it must be known. A worry but determined to push to the limit. Make it to Brighton to feel the joy of my 'tres gringo lindos' .

Sunday setting
As the runners progress through Melbourne's bayside suburbs and make way to the city listen to:
Alice Russell's "Under the Munka Moon" album (UK). Hardtimes.
Vaya Con Dios's Remember, Dont Cry for Loui, Nah ne nah (Belgium).
St Germain - any of their albums. Too Deep and Yellow Daffodil.
Adassa's "Kamasutra" album. Kamasutra.
