words of wisdom

Dear friends: I need your help!
As fellow tilters at the windmill of life, you've learned lots of good stuff about keeping on keeping on, and I need to know it.
Now the plan is this: I'll be taking 6 or 7 gels on the m-word in
eight and a bit days' time OMG OMG OMG!!! Bestow upon me your wisdom, my friends, that I may stick it to my gel packages, read it when I open them, and hence obtain spiritual as well as physical nourishment as I wend my way around the 42.2km OMG OMG OMG!!!
So far I have come up with "remember you paid to do this", and the mighty Emma has contributed "Trained hard, race easy" and "The finish line really does exist". I might write that last one on my hand!
Thanking you in anticipation

On a serious note ... be cautious of your gel intake. Whilst I know that many say to take a gel every hour I have found that after a few gels my stomach needs a break.
For next Saturday (100km - 18hours) I am planning to take about 8 gels - I will supplement with other food intake etc ...

I trust you have alraedy tested your gek intake - remember to drink plenty of water too .....

And remember - have fun.
