Team training day is looming...

I'm looking forward to Sunday, the first opportunity we'll have had to get together as a team and walk (note the word, Michael!) a part of the course.

Due to our geographic spread, we've not managed to get together so far, although we have had a couple of conference calls....
Clearly this won't be sufficient to sustain us through 20+ hours of shared pain, so the plan is to walk the route from checkpoint 6 (Botolphs) to checkpoint 9 (Kingston Hollow). This is around 30km, so a great chance to stretch our legs, with the bonus that these stages are the ones we're expecting to cover at night - having walked this part of the route in daylight should reduce the chance of getting geographically embarrassed, shouldn't it?

As to my friend and colleague now known as Imelda, all this talk of running shoes is making me nervous. Perhaps we can slip some lead insoles into the Merrell BodyGlove LightAsAFeather YouCanRunAllDayInThems......
