You will be tested. Physically, mentally, maybe even spiritually. Are you strong enough to endure?
The race will find your weaknesses and exploit them. At the height of your suffering the race directors will offer you choices...temptations...do you take an official finish on the shorter distance (50K, 100K, 150K) and their beautiful awards? Or can you give just a few more loops to earn the very exclusive 200KM buckle? It is tempting....do you end your journey for the reward now, or continue to endure the challenge to earn the most coveted award of the race? All runners start as 200K participants, toeing the line together. They all have the chanceKeep Reading to continue or drop at any time. Some may only set out to take on 50K, while others yearn for more. But if you set out for 50K and find yourself thinking...maybe I could do a little more and get that buckle, the race directors will let you and play the role of devil on your shoulder, whispering in your ear it's only 2 more loops....and that really just 1 loop and a victory loop...how hard can it be? If you set out for the full 200K but find yourself feeling weak and worn down, thinking that a 100k buckle is good enough...so too will the race directors tempt you.
All runners can choose to run any distance on race day. Are you tough enough to make your goal? or maybe you're tougher than you give yourself credit for?
