Grand Union 2010: Pre-Race Update

I’ve not been doing any racing since the Calderdale in preparation for the GUCR2010. Both legs are in working order and I’m feeling in pretty good shape…so it’s all bound to go horribly wrong! The race starts at 6am on Saturday and my crew will be updating my progress via Twitter and posting pictures via TwitPic. Fortunately, for those who don’t ‘Tweet’ you can see my Twitter/TwitPic feeds on the right of this blog which will update automatically. Technology eh?
I will post a full report on here post-race. The plan is to get right back into training for the UTMB – including a BG support for Craig and Mick, the Osmotherley and the Lakeland 50. We’ll have to see how trashed my legs are after 30hours on the towpath…
