Slowly building my mileage back up. I have 16 weeks between my Australian Centurion qualifier and The British Centurion qualifier. I am counting the weeks it takes till I feel fully recovered. It has only been three weeks and no surprise I have not yet recovered. I am feeling stronger each week. I think 16 weeks will be more than enough time between 100 mile races. There have been many Dutch, Belgian and English racers qualify at both European qualifiers in the same year. May to August. An average of 12 weeks between races.  All this matters because I signed up this week for the Inaugural African Centurion Qualifier on October 22nd. This race is 11 weeks after my British Qualifier. Can I fully recover and race another 100 miles with 11 weeks recovery? That is what I am going to try and find out.
