Pre-Death Race

I’m in Grand Cache right now. It is blazing hot. And tomorrow is looking worse.
Tomorrow, bright and early, I start the Death Race. I WAS feeling fairly confident, but now, not so much. It is very hot, with a plan for 31 degrees tomorrow. That is higher than the melting point of . The orientation didn’t make it sound any better.
I’m trying to formulate a plan of how best to finish tomorrow. I think I have to acknowledge I won’t be as fast as last year. I’m just focussing on finishing for now.
