I've been feeling a bit flat after completing the GUCR. I know it's expected but . . .
I've been for a couple of runs and bike rides (MTB and road) and didn't feel particularly tired but I need something to aim for. There's a Guernsey half-marathon in a couple of weeks which I may enter. I haven't been training for speed so there's no chance of a PB in that or anything . . .
The main thing is, what is the next challenge? I tweeted and Allan Rumbles suggested the Caesers Camp but that doesn't appeal so much. It's not the distance or the course. It's not even Henk (perversely I would relish the insults), it's more the returning to the same place and the easy opportunity to give up.
Same thing applies to the Winter 100 I suppose but I'm toying with that one still.
Then came the T184 which I really like the look of. 184 miles unsupported but with an 80 hour cut-off to give a chance to sleep. Logistically from Guernsey it would need to be worked out but eminently do-able.
But my wife tells me she wants us to go to Florida then.
Bugger! So what now?
Keep looking I guess.
I enjoyed a self-navigated 34 mile run when the family was at Center Parcs. I just plotted a route on paths and bridleways etc. using an OS map and did it; refuelling in the towns and villages en route - maybe I could just take myself away and do another of those?
We'll see.
