cold feet

I think this is called cold feet. I am terrified. I am wishing that I’d trained more. But apparently have done lots – so others tell me. Am nervous for the team. But we’re having big team bonding next weekend. And much needed – we’ve got together every month in one form or another but this Oxford to London long distance relationship has meant if someone missed a training walk for whatever reason – they missed out on contact for a while. And it’s definately the team thing that will get us round. I do know people who’ve stood in for others the week before though – and they made it. There’s no room for failure, as our friends in the QGS army would say.

Tori and I took to the hills on the ridgeway last weekend – that was the last big walk – we did 26 miles a bit by accident. But good. Missed the other guys but was good to spend some proper time with Tori. Often walking in groups you don’t get to the centre of things with one other person. So was nice.

I wish I had the pics – but Tori’s got them. Will get her to post.

  1. Good luck! I feel the same way as you – panicking we’ve not done enough training. We’ve done a couple of 32 milers, but I now wish we’d done a 40 miler, but there just isn’t time!!

    But for now I’m not going to do any more big walks, maybe a 10 miler the week before just to bring everyone together one last time before D-Day. So I’m focusing on timings, logistics and kit!

    Good luck. Al’s Angels are off at 6am, so look out for us at the back if you leave at the same time!

  2. Thanks Al, that’s nice to know I’m not the only one. Sounds like you’ll be fine on the strength of your 30 milers, and you’ve done loads of forward planning. Have seen people turn up on the day without even support crew. Your guys will be great. Good luck indeed. Kim
