Well done Graham... looks like you're very well prepared & champing at the bit to get going!! Best of Luck 👍🍀

Awesome video mate! And well done on the 13h finish & charitable efforts 🔥 Was great to see another perspective on packing 🌟

Thanks - i'm glad I took 2 litres of water capacity!!

salt tablets to stop the cramps? Caffeine tablets can help the concentration. Enjoy, lots of smiles. Smiles are a great source of energy.

Personally, I'd take at least 1.5 litres of water. I'm doing the 55 and I'm taking 2 litres. It's going to be hot. Nothing derails a race quicker than dehydration. Each to their own but an extra litre is only 1kg. Last year I volunteered on aid station 12. Most participants DNFd due to dehydration.

[@grahammethold]

Yes, I agree. Since I did the video the forecast seems to have got warmer, so I will be packing 1.5l to start

[@grahammethold]

Good advice!!!!! 2 litres it was, in the end, and I needed every bit of it!!

[@neilowens67]

Me too! Think I had about 7l of fluid by the end and I was still dehydrated! Congratulations.

[@neilowens67]

I just saw you finished. Hardest thing I've ever done by a long way! Well done!

Good luck Graham. Whats that polo you have on out of interest, the brown one with horiztontal lines?!

[@grahammethold]

I got it on my recent trip to Barcelona from Mango Man. Good value stuff in that shop!! It is actually green/ grey in real life. I can’t find the exact one on the website but these are similar. shop.mango.com/gb/men/polos_c20667557
