High Peak Marathon

[southernsoftie]

I've just been to the coke machine downstairs here at work and have walked back with an ice cold can of pop in each hand.

Just getting the old hands suitably in the groove and 'chilled' up for tomorrow night

Ideally I need to sit here at my desk with my feet in a bucket of ice cold water too, to get the all round HPM effect....

Can you not get someone to hurl ice cubes at your face too?

Although I don't suffer from cold hands, for the first time I will be using Neoprene 3mm socks and gloves (wetsuit stuff) and will report on their effectiveness after the race. They should be useful if the snow is soft and we go on hands and knees in the drifts.

I'm alternating between mild/moderate terror and extreme excitement should be a good night, or at least one to remember!

Take some flippers too Yiannis.

And a snorkel.

RachFR, make sure you have plenty of warm gear for the night.
It appears that the pre-event excitement is getting to me as well
