All ready to go, didn't sleep to good last night.... I have pre race jitters!!! The prologe course is made for tv ratings, grinding uphills and crazy technical descents... Should make for a wild Sunday. Capetown has been great but we are ready to move on. Our start time will be 9:36 am, expected temp to be around 25-28C. It will get much hotter as we move in country. Last week temps were in the 40's in the mountains.
The race statagy will be simple, stay hydrated and take race time out of each day where the opportunity presents itself. Lots of tough talk about losing 20% of the field in the first 2 days.......Banter for the first timers to fret about. I have told Gary to love everyday, look around at the beauty and suck up as much great vibes as possible from fellow competitors and spectators. Tomorrow with 10,000 expected on course and many more watching live in Africa and Europe, it will be a day to remember.
Giver Prairie Boys and Enjoy!
