Point to Pinnacle 2013

[Sweder]

Breakfast of champions - muesli, Greek-style yoghurt with honey, banana, blueberries, chai, ibuprofen, chia fresca - has been wolfed down after a reasonable night's sleep. Unlike 2011 I did not sneak a peak at the Rooks scoreline through the night. Just as well, as apparently the officials contrived to send us down 2-0. My home town is preparing a belated pyre as we speak ..

To local, more pressing matters. The mountain looms over our humble dwelling, the TV tower sparkling like a readied IBM in the early morning sun. Weather looks set fair, just as it did in 2011. Stephen has just left to join the walkers for the early start. MLCMMan and I are hunched over the breakfast table awaiting Suzie's arrival. There's not a lot of chatter.

Next: strong coffee, don the race garb, sniff the air.
Let's get ready to rumble.
