Hi all,
I am supposed to be running RRR in a little less than 3 weeks time but I think I want to DNS.
– my last four weekends have had long objectives scheduled that have been ruined due to weather (like extreme hail / lightning in the mountains)
– my partner DNFd his race 4 weeks ago and he is supposed to pace me but I don’t trust him to do so now (he has done like 7 100 milers successfully but his stomach blew up? Idk)
– my job is a fucking stress ball of hell that has made week training very difficult the for some periods, it’s not always bad but it has been recently (although was better last week/ expected to be better for the next few weeks)
At this point I’m just feeling like I’m not ready and will just get screwed by weather on the course, if not by something else. And I just don’t really see the point of torturing myself for a silly race that I won’t even place at.
Words of encouragement welcome (or make fun of me I prolly deserve it)
