Few month ago Matt and I were really excited with the idea but non of us run a full trail marathon.
At the end we sign up 2 weeks ago and with the lack of real training we knew that the race could be a disaster and really painful.
Topo Adventure organized this race by Brian in comand and as always was really amazing all the set up and organization.
4 laps at the same circuit and Matt and I jump to lead the race from the beginning, nothing to lose.
First and second for half marathon during the third lap Matt drop the pace a bit and to 3rd position.
We start colapsing after 18-20 miles and I was leading the curse but barely running in conditions and with a lot of pain.
I thought that I had the race in my hands and 3rd position for Matt but from nowhere a new participant show up at the last minut. Really strong and in shape who passed us in the last miles. Actually he passes me at mile 24 and nothing I can do to keep his pace.
Afterall, 2nd position for me and 4th for Matt, not bad for our debut with no miles in the legs.....now we barely can walk and I don't want to think about tomorrow... robocop is back in town!
Thanks Matt for helping and pushing me!
