Just filled my belly with supper and beer, had a nice warm shower

I ran Crêtes de Spa, a 55km (2000m elevation) trail ultramarathon in Belgium, the Ardennes forest.
Even came quite close to the Spa Francorchamps (ran a half marathon on that track a few weeks back) circuit and heard racing sounds deep into the forest.

Had a little struggle between 30-40km but I felt great the rest of the time. Just an amazing day!

Got a nice medal, shirt and a beer at the finish.

I will continue running long solo distances and do a few trails here and there, would like to do the 2019 Zugspitz 80km ultratrail which together with the ITRA points I scored today would qualify me for the small Ultra Trail Mont Blanc (55km) race.

Epic achievement and congratulations - sheesh, I get tired even driving that far, mind you in Toronto, you'd probably win by a couple of hours with the traffic here.

Enjoy!

Grnvette65 · 25 March 2018, 06:06 AM

That’s amazing, congratulations. Sad to say I would have a hard time just walking it

tritium8 · 25 March 2018, 06:36 AM

The shirt looks pretty cool. Can we get a better shot?
