I am pacing Willy “Natureboy” Syndram again this year at the Pinhoti 100. Last year was a little too eventful, but hopefully this year we will do much better. :)
Last night I got a call from Phillip, another pacer, who was much
more mature/prepared than I am. He had literally thought of any problems
or situations we would get in. I think every crew needs someone like
that.
I think while every crew needs someone who is on the ball, there
needs to be the laid back, last minute, kind of guy to balance out
things. This is where I come in!
I did start feeling guilty that I wasn’t that well prepared the night
before, but explained to him that I will be prepared and he has nothing
to worry about. He didn’t seem to worry and expressed that I have
experience with this and know what to expect, as does he. We just handle
situations better.
I basically packed my ultra-laundry basket, which consists of
basically everything I have ever wanted while running, along with some
easy food(spaghetti and apples). I also have clothes for multiple
occasions. From what Phillip said, it is supposed to be relatively warm
compared to our past week of cold.
I am very excited to be pacing Willy again this year. I hope the best
for him and I will do anything I can to get him across that finish line
fast and safely.
