Pre Hunter Valley Marathon

Just filling in some time on Saturday night before this marathon tomorrow. By the way with a continuing left ankle injury, some medical issues that continue and now a right hamstring niggle no doubt caused by compensating for the ankle all makes tomorrow being a test of just getting through with a little damage as possible.

At best 3.30 if ever thing holds together ... if things start to go bad then it could be a long, slow and painful limp to the finish. I have never DNF'd a marathon and do not intend to do that tomorrow.

Skiing went well except for the strong winds on a couple of days but out of the wind there was plenty of fresh snow.




The car was rather frozen after being in the car park at Perisher all day.

You went for a ski in the leed up to a marathon. That took guts. Good luck in the Marathon.

Hey Ray, well done yesterday considering your injuries. I was running too and passed you around 35kms I think on the dirt road (think that was you in the grey leggings? I was in all white). Not sure how as I was feeling like death at that point, it's a tough course that one! Well done on your result when many would have called it a day.
