Day 1 at the in Lenk.
42.6km, 1980m+ ( data) - 6 hrs 13 mins.
Day 1 of 3 was always going to be hard to hold back. Great organization, amazing scenery and super company. The first 15k of mainly climbing seemed to pass in a breeze, legs feeling good. The first descent wasn’t too technical and nice to open up a bit. An undulating 10km was fairly energy sapping and I started to feel the legs around 30km and 4hrs in. Important to keep fueling and hydrating as we need to remember we’re eating for tomorrow! GO and electrolyte powder was easy kcal, and some bananas at the aid stations. Topping out at around 2,800m, pretty windy, before a slightly more technical descent into Lenk. Great running with .n for pretty much the whole race made the km’s tick over quicker - thanks for the great company!
Recovery will be short but sweet, ready for another round tomorrow. I think it’s 47km with 2,700m of verts. Tasty!
