OK, so I have a 10k race up and down a mountain tomorrow...not looking forwrad to the upby the way...

Anyway, I came back to Japan last week, suffering with jtlag, been very busy, had a rcae 3 days after i came back..only 4k but still, felt not good after! Anyway...have had a hout 2 nights of decent sleep including last night. Today I feel tired, cold (temperature has dropped in last 2 days)., kinda sicky and generally under the weather!

I have been really looking forard to to this race an am gutted I feel so poo! Any advice?! It's 5:30pm here... the race is 08:30 tomorrow morning. Trying t drink lots of fluids...wish I had a lemsip!!

I'm drinking lotsa lemon and honey....don't have much of an appetite either. Have eaten a healthy rice, ginger pork dish for lunch plus ice-cream...mmm...no appetite tonight though!

Not sure you should do the race tomorrow as it sounds as if it is a tough race and you won't be properly fit to compete....


...having said that I doubt I'd listen to my own advice if I were you!!

 

[Jo_West]

Noooo...wrong advice...but thank you steve!! I'm hoping I will feel better as the race goes on...??

 

[Jo_West]

feeling little better...just eating spaghetti...might be ok! ..? Will let you know how it goes!!

 

[Steve]

[Jo_West]

race was ok! the climb was haaaard...I hate hills...need more training. Love the downhill though. Did the 10k in 1hr 36mins. 6 women took part...1st finished in 1hr15mins! The climb is truely steep...climb up a ski hill and then into the mountain which is straight up ....argh

however...the aard ceremony went on for a bit and didnt eat anything until i got back home at 2pm....so from breakfast at 6am to 2pm...nothing...energy levls are down and I'm grumpy

 

[Jo_West]

tha aard ceremony is only for those who aren't soft
