Day 3,479—Countdown Begins—

I am so not mentally ready for this race. I don’t even know if I plan to wear my vest or not at this point. My hydration bladder is not in the best condition right now, but part of me wants to buy a smaller 1.5-liter one. The 2 liters were more water than I needed in most instances during Shawnee Hill. I can remember only a few times when I have drunk the whole 2 liters, but having the bladder made it less mentally taxing and easier to run on the trails. These trails are supposed to be fast, but with my arm bothering me, I don’t know if I want to plan to carry a bottle.

         Well, I talked myself into buying a new 1.5-liter bladder. I hope it gets here in time. Now, to look through the race packet.
