I take my hat off to you madam.
Antonio it's a shame you won't finish the Connemara course as all three races - half, marathon and ultra - are due to finish at the same point. I guess if you have to stop the sweeper bus will bring you to the finish.
Well, S., my aim is to go as far as I can and/or I´m allowed to. However, I think it is going to be difficult for me to do the whole course although I´d love to.

So, you're "going ultra" just like all the "guerreros viejos" seem to be doing these days Good luck, whatever happens (not knowing is the exciting part!) and listen to Ladyrunner's sound run-walk strategy. I reckon this is a really effective way of reducing injuries and prolonging your running shelf life! I've walked sections of 5 of my 8 road marathons.. although I must admit it wasn't actually a strategy [/quote]
Gracias, BB. I follow Ladyrunner´s sound-run-walk strategy, which Suzie has encouraged us to do for a long time. When I go for a long run, I like doing the first 30 minutes running and then one minute walking and 9 running. It´s great since you break the run in small parts. If I managed to do the whole ultra, I´d probably do the walk breaks more frequently after just 4 or five minutes walking.
