Ran my first Ultra yesterday. The 50k Trail des Fantomes in the - TopicsExpress



          

Ran my first Ultra yesterday. The 50k Trail des Fantomes in the Ardennes in Belgium. It has about 7800 feet of D+. And its a really technical course. It rained pretty hard the last few days, so it was also slippery, especially on the rocks. The trail itself went really well, especially the first 20 miles. After that it became increasingly hard. Got some cramps in my calves and hamstring. Nicked a bit of my shin on a branch in the water and hurt my wrist on a fall. But at about 26 miles it got better and i could finish the trail at a pretty good pace. Finished in 5.3613 and i was really proud with my 8th place finish! Now for some good recovery and then well see when my next ultra will take place ;). Photocredits to running-on-trails.be, a friend of mine and my GF :).
