I'm almost all set for my 2nd Half Marathon for the year.. :-) I'm really looking forward to this one because it will be my first trail run. Everybody who has run this trail has only good things to say about it. Totally excited.
A couple of guys from the Nitros group are also running it so for the first time ever I might actually run a race with company (if I can keep up with the other runners that is). I'm determined to just enjoy the race, the trail, run good and strong to the finish - and not worry about the time.
The organizers have published the route map. Being a completely new area to me, it doesn't feel as daunting as the TWCM or the DRHM '15 route map because its tough to fathom the distance. I tried mapping the route on google map as usual to figure out the distances in my head but the trail parts of the route isn't mapped on google maps so I couldn't get very far. The good news is that the first 4 kilometers or so of the route are paved roads.
It is a comparatively late start for the half marathon - 6:15. Hope it doesn't get too hot too soon.
I still have a lot to do before I head off to Pondicherry tomorrow. Need to clean my shoes, figure out my running gear, do a thorough stretching routine...
Gotto run... (pun intended)
