Into the wild
Good luck Jerry; you've come a long way, now go out and get 145 miles further.
Shut up and run
I know it was a joke...I have been so focussed on this damn race for so long that we have agreed a game plan that will only be changed on the run if there are issues that only a race will present
Most of all Jerry enjoy the experience even through the tough patches. I hope you have your 25kg of goodies packed ready.
Remember it's a privilege to race in this one so make it count and don't blow up less than 10 times during the race (that is a joke )
Consistently Slow
Good luck, Jerry!!!!
Again
Run until the trail runs out.

The pain that hurts the worse is the imagined pain. One of the most difficult arts of racing is learning to ignore the imagined pain and just live with the present pain (which is always bearable.) - Jeff

Canal Soup
ha ha, there is great discussion about what exactly Canal Soup is but having had Dick's quisine before it promises to be a runners banquet. He has a habit of buying stuff to fit the budget and it will probably be minestrone with added pasta and potatoes. The warming stuff that fills your stomach but doesn't upset it.
