So with less than 6 weeks to go now I feel like I am almost ready (as ready as I'll ever be). I went to the beach today.... actually really enjoyed it and very glad I went. I did about 14 and a half miles on the shingle and sand which was okay. Quite tough to walk on in parts because one minute my feet felt pretty solid and in the next step they sank completely. A great place to train though so I'll definitely be going back. Once I'd finished that part of the day I went into the dunes. Now this I really enjoyed! I didn't have gaiters attached but was wearing ToeToe socks with Sealskinz over the top and my trainers. No sand on the feet which was a bonus! Not quite sure how it must have looked to the people enjoying the dunes with their kids, buckets and spades at the ready, with slightly deranged looking woman sliding down one side and attempting to run up the opposite side. But good fun and it's given me an insight as to how hard it is to walk up a steep slope in the sand!
I will hopefully go back a couple of times between now and the end of March. Definitely beneficial. Once the gaiters are attached I need to roadtest them anyway.
