Starting Point-Have you thought about strategy?

Hey Folks...the 48 hours is new territory for so many. It's not like a 48 hour track event either. It's more survival/adventure oriented with a 5 mile loop course in the forest that's deceivingly hilly. It can also be a stinkingly awful time of year in Southern Ontario (highs of "only" 28 c. but with 94% humidity).

I've posted some of the most common responses to individuals' goals & thoughts on rest breaks (in the sidebar on the right.) If you are running or intending to run the 48 hours at dirty, can you answer this question:

How many km/miles are you planning to cover in the first 24 hours & how many in the second?
