Anyone for race for life tomorrow? Can we do it in this heat?

I'm in the Swansea event. Somehow I will do it. I've bought lucozade isotonic, tried it out today on walk home and definitely helped. I'm having one with my food when I wake (travel time for me is quite long) and another on way there & one for during. Plan on using train station loo hehe. Take a hat, fluid, towel for car, & sunblock

Thanks for that sound advice! Wish you all the best....gather it is even hotter in Swansea than it is here in Portsmouth. I'm going to slather myself in sunblock

And take it really slow. The one thing I don't want to do is walk! Let me know how you get on...

How did your Race for Life event go after? I managed to run the whole way, but it was extremely hot and quite difficult. I almost walked. Almost! I finished in just under 37 minutes. Was very glad for the lovely bottle of water after.

Well done! Gosh it was tough...we were held back for 20 minutes too which in the hot sun was not good. Anyhow staggered through but I think it was my worst Run EVER. And I stopped so close to the finish and walked for about 100 metres before getting going again. SO DISAPPOINTED! Anyhow I was close to you with 36 mins and have been out since but not sweated quite so much (but almost!) I take my hat off to you for keeping going and now am beginning to look forward to much cooler weather!
