Ventoux is a difficult hill to climb partly because of it's reputation which starts to weigh heavily in your mind days before you arrive.

I'm finding a lot of really useful stuff on here this morning.
This quote got me thinking about the weight of reputations; I think this is an essential component in distance running, especially when you tackle an established course.

Two Oceans weighed a ton; I'm sure I was half knackered before the off thanks to the weeks - months - of dreaming about the challenge. There's a thin line between respect and fear; respect drives caution and preparation whilst fear simply puts lead in the legs and cold in your heart.

I'll cut and keep this for use in preparation for 2008.
