Two Oceans Half Marathon - 3 days to go

I will be doing my final 4.5 km dash tomorrow in preparation for the hills and winds in Cape Town. I thought of attempting a sub 2h30 but I'm not so sure anymore. This week I ran the Slomag in 2h37 and maybe I should aim for 2h40 down at the Cape.

The other year I went to Durban to run the Spar Ladies 10k and found myself struggling to breathe normally because of the difference in altitude. This time I'll be more prepared to handle the situation if it arises.

I'm getting my mind ready for the 2 km uphill between Southern Cross and Rhodes Drive(11 to 13 km mark).
