Tomorrow a marathon...

So finally I'll run a full marathon tomorrow ( after 2 half marathons in the last month). The first marathon in 5 years, let's see how this goes. At this moment I've some pain in my right hamstring, but the pain should be away tomorrow (?). In a way I don't like to run a full marathon: It take two weeks to prepare( you have to taper and rest a lot, you have to be carefull not to caught a flue( quite a challenge while travelling in the metro two a day.. ;)) and after the marathon you have to rest for a week or so. So It disturbs the training for three weeks, that's quite a lot. It stresses a bit , but ok let's not complain!  End scenario's for tomorrow:

  • Endtime > 4.00 , I'll be dissappointed, and a lot! How is this possibel anyway??
  • Endtime 3.50 - 4.00 Mmhh, It was a experience but I'm not happy at all
  • Endtime 3.40 - 3.50 Ok, it's fine.
  • Endtime 3.35 - 3.40 Good run!
  • Endtime 3.32 - 3.35 Very good run!
  • Endtime < 3.32 perfect run!!!!!
Anyway..... the trip to the Mont Ventoux will be moved to autumn of 2014. It seems that The Man can get his leg in condition and will be not able to train on the bike anymore in this year. No problem of course, The Mont Ventoux will be existing for a long time and better to go there with some kilometers in your legs than in a bad condition. 
In November my swimmcourse will start and in december I'll think which sportsevents I'll attend in 2014. Maybe more cyclingraces and even some triathlon( basic distance).  I liked this sportsyear a lot because the combination of bicycling, running, boxing and swimming suits me and my legs well! 

Fingers crossed for tomorrow!! I'll be back
