dave303e Posted December 1, 2017 Share I think with finnish times this quick it could be a shift in preparation for next year's competitors, train harder for higher pace, and go super light, the lightest compulsory gear you can find, barely enough water to get between water points and 1 set of kit for whole race and a ton of caffeine to avoid sleep Jva, Pulse, IH8MUD and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After every edition they guys are preparing better..times will come down each year.

I FLY Posted December 1, 2017 Share We had some okes like that in the Army. During my national service stint on the border I went for a month in the same set of browns without taking them off. I threw them away when I got back to my camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
