Ok, so the Chichester 10k, the first of my 13 races, is next Sunday and I am already nervous. My race number just arrived and within the information pack it had this terrifying piece of information... Race starts at 10.30am. Race officials will remain at the course until the last runner completes or 11.45am, whichever occurs first! That suggests they are expecting the slowest of the bunch to be done within 1hr 15. I was hoping to do about 1 hr 15 as this is my first 10k since 2009 and now I am feeling a little bit of pressure.
I can run a 5k in about 32 minutes but I really don't think I can sustain that pace for double the distance so soon. I know it's my own fault, I shouldn't have entered a race so quickly but I had to to ensure the success of my fundraising efforts.
So... training a go go! Sensible fuel eating yes yes yes! Max Hydration done and done. I will do everything I can to do this race right but I am so very nervous. Luckily I have the best motivation!
