@Naomi, Thanks so much.
@Heather, Let's see if the Garmin lasts for that long. It is supposed to do 19 hours, and I am expecting 16 - 17 hours for the completion of the race.
@Richard, Cheers mate. I appreciate the thought.
@Adina, Thank you so much. I will definately be thinking of my DM friends during the event.

@Millen, I will try to enjoy it. I am told if I treat it as a relay (individual stages) then it won't be so huge. Break it up into chunks.

@Adina, I have tried to import my garmin file, but DM is having difficulty with it. If you look at the course map on the NF web site, it is the loop which is mostly the back 3rd of the course. If you look at my FB, I posted some good pics.'
@Heather, I new it would be big, but I thought there might be some relief in the climb out. But there wasn't.23 days ago • Like

@Naomi, Too right.
@Jaydub, That's why I did it. Take on the worst of it I thought. I learned that from my six foot training.

Glad I gave the transfer to a great home, you'll do fine and will have an awesome time in the upper Blue Mountains. @jaydub you will also smash it this year, remember it's all about endurance rather than speed... just keep putting one foot in front of the other and you both will get there :)
