Tring2Town AND Town2Tring!

Yep, we've entered another race! This event has been running since 2005 by Ambition Events but this year has an added twist! Tring 2 Town is a 40 mile foot race from Tring to Kew in London along the Grand Union Canal. However this year Rory and the gang have offered the option of running the opposite way on the Sunday, totally 80 miles over two days! Saturday - Kew to Tring and Sunday Tring to Kew.
I have decided to just run on Saturday as I have some exam preparation to do on Sunday. Good excuse I know! Ben on the other hand is going for the double whammy and plans on covering the whole 80 miles, good luck mate : )
The event is already over subscribed and has a good reputation, so I am really looking forward to this one. I am also hoping it will a dry race compared to 10 days ago! Looking at the weather it looks like it could be a cold one, so will have to pack accordingly. Both of us will take our MdS backpacks, with about 6-7 kg's of food and kit.
The plan is to be sitting in a bar in Tring on Saturday by 16:30 for England V's Wales in the Six Nations.
