Hey, I’m only commenting because I’m also doing seven and I agonised over the distance as well. I ended up entering the five (85km) because I didn’t want to destroy my legs while also training for the tour of Margaret river.
I am also fitter than I’ve ever been but definitely not 5w/kg more like 4w/kg and even given that I know there’s a lot to deal with, the excitement of a race pushing me over threshold, not eating or drinking enough, not pacing properly up some of the hills and blowing up.
In saying that I’m looking forward to it because even 85km is no joke and needs nutrition and pacing to be dialed in so it’s going to be a good challenge.
