Oxfam Trailtrekker

paulocon

Hi,

Doing the Oxfam 100km Trailtrekker in a couple of weeks. Just to look for advice from anyone who has previously done this event (or something similar).

One of the main things will be to try and stay blister-free. Have done plenty of walking in the shoes I plan to wear for the event but would appreciate any tips for keeping blister-free.

Also, just wondering what way people approached eating for the day - thinking little and often but not sure if that would be the best approach.

Any advice/tips etc. would be greatly appreciated..

Done the challenge this weekend. Ducky - Compeed were excellent and were a big factor in getting our team of 4 through the 100km. Very tough going and a different challnge to what I had anticipated but a great experience (though not one I'll be putting myself through again)..
