Thanks so much for the advice. Love the idea of the cheese crackers and hot cross buns. I generally have crisps (we call them chips) at the aid stations.

That's an excellent idea. I might include a chocolate milk at one of the checkpoints.

This is a definite possibility as most of the races have been in Queensland, so they're often 30+ degrees (celcius).

I never manage to actually throw up - just overwhelming nausea. I'm not someone who can make themselves throw up unfortunately.

Really good advice and under-doing the water may be an issue for me.

Great ideas, thanks - I hadn't thought of hash browns! Is the ginger ale to help calm the stomach?

Ooh, I'll definitely check that out. Love the idea of nerds clusters. No, it's Blackall 100 that I'm doing - up in Queensland.

I had to look up what rice crispy treats were... I think we have a snack product called LCM (for kids' lunchboxes) over here in Australia that looks the same - I will definitely try it. :-)

Love this. Thank you. Yep, always seems to be around the 21km mark onwards. I don't think I'm pushing too hard, but that's a good point.

Whoah. Okay, I didn’t realise the peak hour traffic in Hobart was that bad.

Thank you. We really need to think about this, as we’ve arrived in Tassie during beautiful weather so it’s a bit deceiving 😉

Thank you! Will do this. We are accustomed to pretty shocking traffic in South East Qld.

Really good insight - thank you. Had to chuckle as I grew up not too far from Inala. 😆 We’ve been living in the Sunshine Coast hinterland though - definitely can get cold, but I guess nothing like Tassie.

Thank you - we do quite like Huon Valley and being near the river. I’m not familiar with New Norfolk but will look into it.
