STW, pre-race

I am not quite recovered from the whole post-Brasstown illness (it was applesauce and crackers for a solid week, and now I am barely eating what I call a real meal). Yet I am off in the morning to McCormick, SC and the Save The World Adventure Race. Am I ready? I have no idea. I am worried about my lack of nutrition and resulting fatigue. And of course my foot just happens to be more sensitive this week as well. I haven't worked out in 2 weeks, yet I will try to actually be competitive in the 20hr elite race (there is also a 6hr sport division). I'm racing with Hunter & Daniel, my fav UGA boys... I've raced with each of them separately, but not together. We will definitely have some fun, although they are very quick and strong - I hope I can keep up enough so as to not be frustrating! I am optimistic that things will go well. I haven't done this race before, but have heard tid bits here and there - the navigation is tough and especially important with much of the course fashioned as a rogaine. The race always starts with a swim (and we start at 7pm - I am not looking forward to jumping in the water!) and will include a series of special tests, including a ropes course. I will def write a post-race report to let you know how I held up!
