I never feel trained enough for a race, and it's no different here. I am injury free, though, which is always a good thing. I'd rather be a little under-trained than a little over-trained for a race. We can always gut it out the last few/30 miles, but it's much harder to do that with lingering injuries and unnecessarily tired muscles from a taper-less week leading up to a race.
It looks like Grindstone will have live tracking of the runners throughout the race. How often it will be updated from the mountains will little signal/service is unknown to even the race director. Nonetheless, here is the link to that site: http://www.eco-xsports.com/
My trusted weather app tells me there is a 70% chance of rain on Saturday, and who doesn't like running in the rain? I hope the temperature drops into the 40's Friday night - I love being miserable. It makes these adventures much more memorable and adds dramatic effect to the stories. The food afterwards always tastes better too.
Good luck to all at Grindstone.
