CRAFT ULTRA 60 km
Yesterday I ran Craft Ultra 60 km at Österlen a beautiful place in Sweden. 🇸🇪
I had great support from Sean ❤️and it was a great training day to get some km in the legs and get out of my comfort zone.
So I chased cut off times, tested energy and equipment, heat training, salt etc… Lots of running on asphalt, large gravel roads, sandy beach, monotonous slow running better than walking. And my legs hurt, but continued... Several mental ups and down. 🔝⬇️
At 4:00 PM I was mentally down, I called Sean to pick me up because I wouldn’t make the next cut off at 4:15 PM, which was around 42… my watch showed 45 – but I hadn’t seen any cut off zone and I didn’t trust my watch – “I won’t make the cut off at 42 so I have to be picked up and I only see hills and nature as far as the eye can see, so I won’t make it.” At 4:15 PM I talked to a guy that now we’re out because we won’t make the cut off and there were a lot of runners there…
“We passed that cut off a long time ago – now we’re on our way to the next one.”😁
Okay – then I kept running to the finish Line. 🚀
At the end of the race I overtook many who walked and that is always mentally a bonus.
It was beautiful day and different landscape and for sure a race I can recommend if you want to run an Ultra.
Now my legs need to rest for a few days, then I’m looking forward to more mountain training towards the next goal…..
Happy smiles
