Wish me luck...

Sooooooo, I'm getting ready. Did the last bits and pieces, prepped food and drinks, packed my box for support crew and Charmian just picked it up. There's not much left to do other than pack my backpack and have a good night of sleep. Gotta get up at 4:45am, catch the bus at 5:30, train station at 6:00 and finally THE RACE at 8:00 :) wish me luck!! Oh, I'll try and post some pics on facebook from the checkpoints so that you can see how we're doing... and as far as I know there's a 'team tracker' on the Oxfam website where you can live-track our progress:

Soooooo, ich bin fast fertig mit vorbereiten. Hab die letzten Sachen erledigt, Essen und Trinken abgepackt, meine Box gepackt und Charmian hat sie grad abgeholt. Unsere Support Crew bringt sie dann zu den Checkpoint 3,5 und 7 damit wir nicht essen, trinken, klamotten fuer 100km rumschleppen muessen. Ansonsten gibts eigentlich nix mehr zu tun ausser meinen Rucksack zu packen und frueh ins Bett zu gehen. Ich muss um 4:45 morgens wieder raus, nehm dann den Bus um 5:30, bin um 6:00 am Hauptbahnhof und dann endlich um 8:00 gehts los :) wuenscht mir Glueck!! Ach, und ich werd versuchen von den Checkpoints aus Bilder auf Facebook zu posten, damit ihr seht wie wir uns schlagen... und so weit ich weiss gibts nen 'team tracker' auf der Oxfam website, wo ihr live mitverfolgen koennt wo wir grad sind:

  3. Hehe, we didn't have a BBQ (couldn't have eaten anything anyway), but we had Champagne!! Went straight to the head :) Adam was OK, but he jumped in for Uwe last minute, un-trained... and unfortunately the first two sections of the race are THE KILLER: heaps of hills and rocks and shitty track... so he didn't enjoy it that much. Still greatful that he did it, because without him we wouldn't have been allowed to start!
