The exciting thing about setting a goal and progressing towards it is the homework and the preparation you do to make sure you’re doing the right thing.
It’s an exciting time watching videos of people who have done it before who provide sage advice especially when it comes to dealing with the crowds and the rush that the 42km street party can bring. Personally we can’t wait, but we need to build more miles in the legs before the confidence of finishing the race.
However, at the moment its great research watching videos like this one. I hope you get a feel for what we are looking forward to with this. Crowds, bands and exciting.
