Time to get on with it.

Pretty much nothing to do now but get to the Gold Coast and race.

Got a pretty good 5km in last night and run good 1km intervals for km's 2 and 4.

Am relatively confident (a bad sign maybe?) and will definitely get a PB but should obliterate it. Remnants of the cold are still hanging around though. I got some salt water nasal spray today in the hope of accelarating it. It seems to work, it induces that thing that happens for a few hours after you've spent time being dumped in the surf too many times. In this case, it's literally within seconds!

Anyway, all ready to go, just a short jog to loosen up on Friday night or Saturday morning and that's it.

3 hours is definitely achievable but there'll be no half measures. If I miss it, it'll be because I blow up and if that's the case, I'll be lucky to get home under 3:20. Would be nice to pip my brothers 3:05 PB though.
