lin50 Apr 2021 6:21pm, 3 Apr 2021 175 posts	0 lin50 FF...it was a really nice route. Over 2,000 ft of elevation (mainly 3 nasty hills at miles 6, 20 and 25). A very low key event with only 40ish runners. It’s my first ultra and I came in at 6hrs 31 although Garmin was a bit short at just under 30 miles. We did pass through some tunnels so maybe lost gps going through those?

GimmeMedals Apr 2021 9:42pm, 3 Apr 2021 20,611 posts	0 GimmeMedals I've done all 3 runs this week. I'm looking forward to trying the interval session again and pacing it better next time.

Fenland Flier Apr 2021 9:48pm, 3 Apr 2021 2,231 posts	0 Fenland Flier Well done to you both, I'm sure it will come together GM (in week 10) they're difficult to get right.
GimmeMedals Apr 2021 10:12pm, 3 Apr 2021 20,612 posts	0 GimmeMedals lol I'll not get too hung up on feeling a failure if I run too fast then
Fenland Flier Apr 2021 10:21pm, 3 Apr 2021 2,234 posts	0 Fenland Flier Oh no please don't, it just means you have to run even faster the week after 🤣🤣 Please don't try that, stick to the pace suggested and if possible jog the rest breaks as I'm sure that will be better than too fast and walking the breaks.
