Hood to Coast is just 3 days away. 3 days until 12 people pile into 2 vans and run a collective 197 miles. That's 316 kilometres...Sydney to Canberra in Aussie terms. All up 1000 teams - 12,000 runners and 3,000 volunteers! Toughest challenge other than the fitness is estimating how long each runner will complete each leg. If everyone is conservative but then comes home in world record pace, the van won't be there to drop off the next runner, so all time advantage is lost. If we all say we are going to do 4 minute miles but we bomb, then vans are hanging around check points forever. Oh the dilemma!
