  6. Ewen, the secret to success is to have nothing to eat for 24 hours prior to racing. Worked for me!

  8. Ha ha. Thanks for sharing your secret. If I'm not starving I'll try it for the Melbourne Half.

  9. I wouldn't advise this pre-race preparation for you or anyone, Ewen. Not socially acceptable to my mind.

    In my case it worked well; I think because I wasn't expecting it to
    happen that way and then I seem to have been able to call on other sources of energy and enthusiasm to race well.... hence the Australian Record.

    In your case I would avoid it happening in Melbourne!
