logistics for sunday are stressing me out, the race guide is super unhelpful so it's like pretty unclear how getting in/out of the race works...like it's a place i run by regularly but they've made it so confusing  :uhhhfacepalm:

just get there earlier than you think you need to. it can't possibly be so confusing that it takes an hour to figure out. and make sure to find the bathroom with more than enough time before the start!
Muscles are nonsensical they have nothing to do with this bullshit.

Notes

Avg HR 119, properly just shuffling about just to have got some movement in. Much the same tomorrow. Legs aren't feeling great but I never get any pop in a taper, I just feel weird until I'm actually racing. Probably a sign I'm not doing something right 'for me', but will leave figuring that out for another day. Can tell the taper (+ getting a bit more sleep) is having some effect as RHR is like 10 lower than it's been, haha.

Have cut fibre out out diet from now until race and hitting up the carbs. Probably overkill for a half but it's fun so may as well.

looking like ~11C & <10% chance of rain. fingers crossed that holds up since that's pretty ideal!

hah yeah, that's pretty much my plan, esp since i'm unlikely to sleep well the night of anyway! move in the right direction and follow the big crowd. means i'll be mixing and downing my bicarb en-route, lmao.

my conclusion is that the race guide and associated site were very much llm rather than human driven this year -- quite a few indications of this. fkn depressing.
