Pre-TU Run
I did my last long pre-thueringenULTRA run this morning. I had initially started out to do a 50KM, but in retrospect am glad I only did a 40K. I ran out of drinks...
In January I did a 55KM training run with my 3.5L camelbak bladder and two additional bottles - had drinks left over. Summer has set in here finally and as the day unfolded it got a little warm. A huge lesson for next weekend and the TU. Aside from the fluids issue everything else went fine this morning nutritionally.

Watzmann Summit
The Watzmann Range includes Germany's
second highest mountain peaks. I've been
trying to summit for the past three years; was held
up by weather, equipment and know-how.
This year a team of 10 of us hiked and climbed
the Hocheck (2651m) and the Mittelspitze (2713m).
The experience was tremendous. In preparation for
the UTMB I now know that I've got to get back
into the gym and on a bike to work and develop my thighs,
hips and core.
