- What time should I wake up? - 6.00am. Walk around a bit to get my system moving!
- What should I have for breakfast? - Toast with honey.
- Can I buy a train ticket in advance so I'm not left with change to carry? - No! I'll just have to take the exact money. Buy a return to Bondi Junction. Get the train at about 7.00am.
- Make sure I get a black bin liner to wear to keep me warm before the start. - Don't be an idiot! This is not advisable. I've got an old jumper that I can take off before the start and leave for the charity collectors.
- Find a small ziploc bag to keep my train ticket and $10 under my hat. - I have (even though I hate to admit it) a bum bag - courtesy of the Singapore Half Marathon - which I can carry money, train ticket etc.
- What time should I get there to ensure I'm as close to the front of my group as possible? - Should be in the City by 7.30am ish. Drop off my clothes to pick up at the finish.
- Leave enough time before the start to queue for a number 2! - Very important.
- Check the weather forecast to ensure I won't need any extra clothes to wear on the way home. - Take them anyway.
- Work out my race strategy (check time at 7km and adjust to meet target / use imaginary friend to set pace for whole race / consider how far back I'll be at start and how long it takes to get up to pace.) - Still got to work that one out.
- Check that a sausage sandwich from North Bondi SLSC is good post-exercise food. - Of course it is, together with a fruit smoothy!
Should be fine with all that.
I missed my final training session yesterday because I was on a course in the City. I just consider that to be an extended taper. No worries!
This should be the last post before Monday...
