Exactly a week to go to TWCM (The Wipro Chennai Marathon) and the excitement is slowly creeping in. It has mostly to do with the race expo held yesterday. I picked up my bib & race goody bag there and the general excitement and buzz going around was quite infectious. The goody bag had the latest copy of the Rundown magazine and the race Tshirt (which I will not be wearing) among other knickknacks such as a Gatorade bottle, some pre-race energy snacks and some pain gels. By far one of the better goody bags I've seen thus far.
The race routes have also been published on the site and I've started mentally stripping down the route and imagining the distance in my head.
The 21.1k will be flagged off by 4:30 which means I'll be having a pretty early start from home (3:30?). When do I go to sleep if I have to be up by 3:00? I had planned to start waking up race-time-early all of this week to get my body clock adjusted and used to this early morning hour. That may need some re-thinking. I think I will just continue waking up at 4:00 and hopefully that one hour difference wont matter on the day of the race.
