Ultra Training Diary: How I’m thinking my first ultra will go

They say a picture paints a thousand words. So rather than rambling on about what Saturday might be like, this is how I’m thinking my first ultra will go …

 

Fear of not waking up on time means setting multiple alarm clocks at 1 minute intervals and no sleep

 

The next morning

 

Breakfast

 

Coffee

Getting dressed

 

Leaving home

 

The arrival

 

First things first

At the start line of my first ultra

 

A few miles in

 

A few more miles in

 

At the aid stations

 

A few other thoughts

 

And while hoping this won’t be the case

 

Meeting others

Likely somewhere near the end

All leading to this…

 

Followed by this…

 

And this…

 

Anything I’ve missed?

 

Happy running all!
