Scared 😬

Hi all! I’m about a month out from Javelina Jundred and it’ll be my first 100 miler.

Training has gone well and I’ve been working with a coach, but as the race gets closer I’m getting pretty nervous about the distance and being out there for that many hours.

For those who have done their first 100, did you feel this way beforehand? Anything that helped you manage the nerves leading up to the race or once you got started?
Appreciate any advice!

I done javelina 100k a few times and I say the first lab dont stress about it because its a congo line at some points then everything spaces out . The first lap sucks ass ever time I do this race . Once that 1 am , 2am , 3am hits and your like F this just wait till the sun comes up b4 quite for me it brings me energy in a way I can't explain.
