(Backup) One week to go

One week to go . This week has been easy training week, as will the next 7 days. The hardest thing I’ve done this week is pack, repack and repack again. The final pack weight is just under 13 kegs.

The race director confirmed last Saturday it is going to be cold, likely to be sub zero during the day and even colder at night.....

Emergency drop bag at the ready........

.......

I’ve done 2 10k runs and dog walking with the lump on, just so my body doesn’t forget what the weight feels like.

Less than 2 weeks to go

Less than 2 weeks until the start of the 2018 Fire and Ice ultra.

We’ve had some interesting information sent from the Race director this week. Here’s just a few

Could be interesting times ahead.

Training has gone to plan, and did a final dress rehearsal run yesterday and it probably couldn’t have gone any better, apart from the fact it was quite warm instead of the possible freezing weather in Iceland.
