The...Middle 70 miles are the problem, eh? Ah, ah!<br /><br />There is no doubt in my mind that if you can run 50 miles, you can finish 100. The problem is to mentally overcome the temptation to stop between miles 60 and 95. Parts of your brain want you to stop and all of a sudden, your inner voice is trying to sweet talk you into stopping and it has pretty convincing arguments. Worked on me last time.JDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01000545672867444826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3083035388096783130.post-57532675475670341582011-07-27T12:49:42.164-04:002011-07-27T12:49:42.164-04:00First, I hope the aid station support is 100 time ...First, I hope the aid station support is 100 time better than Mohican was. Funny is that it now not becoming a question of if you are physically fit to run a 100mile - you can do that, it is Mentally Fit now. You have to be so on everything as you mentioned Hydration, Nutrition, Salt Intake it will all be critical from the "go" to the "stop". <br />Good Luck and I hope it all goes well and you get the Mohican Monkey off your back.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08745837995772852926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3083035388096783130.post-5808811830807961182011-07-27T12:31:06.077-04:002011-07-27T12:31:06.077-04:00I'm nervous since this is my first 100M. In my...I'm nervous since this is my first 100M. In my mind I know I can do it but I'm putting some pressure on time as well. Not sure if its just stress or not but now I have a chest congestion, hhopefully nothing to worry about for Saturday.<br /><br />I would say to take advantage of the first 10M, not go all out of course but a decent pace, then slow down or do your shuffle. The way I'm looking at this race is ~20 5M short laps, aid station by aid station. Once I get to the next one I'll think about the next one.<br /><br />In my opinion the middle 70M are the toughest technically (in theory!), since the first 15M are mostly road and the last 15M is a combo but nothing too bad. On the other hand nothing is easy after 85M anyways right.<br /><br />In terms of aid stations, I've been told they are awesome. With plenty of food and drinks including ice so no worries there. I'm sure you are going to like this race, I can't wait to start.Carloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02797637959324788361noreply@blogger.com
