Down grade
Given current fitness level or lack of it, it is going to take alot and maybe gone down to the wire to complete Sundown Ultra. It is something that i have not thought of before i head over to China IM.
Now, this is very real. The prospect of 14 hours aren't daunting to me. The thought of having to run so slow for Ultra is very demoralising and it is going to be "painful".
I won't be able to know what is going to happen in the future. Maybe things turn bad and i can no longer involve in any cardio activities. Better run, when the opportunity is still there, before the inevitable happened.
I feel pretty bad that family members and friends are worry if i decide to do it.
I have a long thought and decide to reduce the distance by half.
I am confidence if i can last 16hours on the road 3 weeks ago, i can last a mere 42km in 3 weeks time with pretty of time to spare.
