CLAIRE At Frohnau

Russ, Leah and I have arrived at the race start gym. We managed to get a nice corner spot to set up our sleeping bags. we've met lots of great people and very experienced runners. One of the first women I met has the 1000 mile award from having done 10 Western States 100-milers! Then I met a man that has run 1700 marathons! And of course Russ is no slouch. I am beginning to think I am in over my head. Dinner and race briefing at 7pm. Leah's bike has been assembled, but Russ's back will never be the same again.
