Gerecse Spring Trail 25k+
Ended up being 27k+ as the track I downloaded and ran wasn't adjusted for the course which was marked on the ground. So about 4 of us for sure ran what was displayed at the start and uploaded as track, but 4-5 people behind us didn't and this cost us an extra 500m or so with 20m more climb.
Probably would have been a place or two higher, although I lost heart a bit after that to be honest and dropped back.
What did not help at all was that my legs were shot from the word go - I felt them already at the first incline, I just did not recover from all the hard work this week, especially the climb. I ended up walking most of the steeper uphill sections and well, that just isn't what you were supposed to do in this kind of race.
As usual, I survived and got another training session in the bag for the marathon but for sure I will suffer tomorrow. I just hope it pays off in the end and that I get the taper right.
