It's a Marathon and Not a Sprint

[Fishman]

OK for those of us lucky to be going, we are heading for the fields for 4 or 5 days of bliss and we're all over-excited as our Christmas is coming.

The best piece of advice you can all have from me is to bloody pace yourselves. Remember, to be belting out the tunes with Reg on Sunday night, or bouncing around even later, you'll have to have preserved some energy. It's a marathon and not a sprint.

See you in the fields ...

Oh, and you can post your disaster stories here afterwards.

Thanks for the timely reminder. I'm imagining myself on Wed night at the meet going to the bar and ordering shots at 8pm. Going too hard on the first night is a tradition I've shared with friends for twenty odd years and I really need to not go too crazy.

Looking forward to the disaster stories tho 😉

Absolutely this. 

Don't be afraid to take five, lose the crowds, regroup at camp. Rest and sleep is important, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Hydrate, eat and have a f**king blast.

[Alcatraz]

It's worth saying as well, the place will help you marathon like Kipchoge

Permaculture Gardens are my fave place for taking 10 mins if needed. 

But yeah, no way you can go all out all day every day, so rest up when needed. 

f**k I sound old.

I normally realise this by 5 am Thursday morning but definitely agree

I remember last year, it hit me on the Sunday afternoon after Diana Ross, I was wiped out.

I don’t want that to happen this year with Reg on the Sunday night so going to have to pace myself on the Saturday.

I am thinking NO ALCOHOL until Lil Nas X on Sunday. I want to absorb every second of Reg.

Our group have a real habit of going way too hard on the Thursday and paying for it - smaller group this year so reckon we might not egg each other on as much which will help.

I'll have enough drugs to choke a donkey so I'll be going hard for 5 days. It hasn't failed me yet and this is my tenth one.

I like your style, McNulty.

I'm with you.

I am thinking no alcohol at all AFTER (or a bit before) LNX. I want to absorb Reg but would also like to be more together on the Monday this time.

Probably won't happen.

going too hard too early is all part of the fun.

wednesday = mashup

thursday = desperately regret previous days mashup

 

its the way its always been, its the way it always will be.

Slow and steady for me … I’ll still be knackered by sat 🙂
