Marie-Louise hosted an evening of carbo loading for the novice Comrades runners. She also invited a few "old salts".
The dining room dresser was decorated with Comrades "stuff" as shown in the picture - stuff to eat, drink and place on your body in order to make the day as enjoyable as possible.
The dining room table and chairs are decorated with Comrades memorabilia and the old salts bring along some of their own mementos : shirts, badges, medals etc.
Then the general conversation for the evening revolves around the novices expressing any concerns they might have around race day, and the old salts providing encouragement and inside tips.
It's a really special evening where positivity is the name of the game. Lots of encouragement, support and : "YES !! You can do it!!"
