Happy Sunday warriors! Last day of the week. Time to finish it off strong. I'm wrapping up last-minute packing today for Arizona Monster 300, although in fairness it'll probably be an ongoing process until I leave. Check and double-check everything. Run to the store for one more thing. Realize I forgot something else. 300 miles takes a massive amount of gear, an insane amount of food, and meticulous planning. Drop bags for multiple aid stations, crew supplies, backup everything. Then there's all the stuff I'm bringing that I probably won't use. The just-in-case gear. The Plan B stuff. The Plan C backup for when Plan B fails. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it at mile 200. And this wild weather forecast keeps changing my strategies. What worked last year in mild heat won't work this year in extreme heat. Have to adapt the entire approach. So nervous right now I genuinely feel like I'm going to throw up. That pre-race anxiety hitting full force. Six more days until I toe the start line. Time to see what I'm made of. Let's close out this week strong. LFG
