The race is tomorrow and we had a full pre-race day to get ready. First up was a "regenerativo" run from the race start through the first 3km followed by a team breakfast.

Discussing the climb that starts just after this point. |
On the race morning before we got started was a compulsory gear check. I think that I did well with a light pack and minimal gear, although the 2l of hydration I had to carry sure added some weight to the pack. Nonetheless, I was looking much lighter and more compact in my gear than a lot of the competitors.
