I'm not too far into the euphoria of being IN Hood to Coast, that I don't have some concerns. I've never run a relay race, so this is akin to dropping my in the deep end of the ocean.
Concern #1 - my legs and feet. Depending on elevation/distance/terrain I worry about how my feet will feel after each leg. There will be time in the van where I'm sitting and getting stiff. My initial thought is to wear compression socks. Also, at each stop to get out and stretch and move, so I am not too stationary.
Concern #2 - weather. This is Oregon. My arch nemesis - rain could be there. I hate rain. I know, I know, get a jacket and suck it up.
Concern #3 - fatigue. I'm told there will be little to no sleep, how will I do on little sleep? Just how much adrenaline do I have in me?
Concern #4 - team. I don't want to fail my team by being too slow. I've been up front, I'm not a turtle, but I'm no gazelle. I don't want to disappoint.
Training is going well. I'm going to increase miles this week. I feel very good out there running. I'm officially registered, so I'm good there. So far so good, with 63 days to go.
