The Pancharevo Trail Marathon 2016 – a marathon race that I am attacking for 3rd time this year(even though I am blogging about it for first time). A marathon race that this year will be a bit different than the previous ones.
I always go for the 21 km. discipline and this year is no different. However, this year the 21 km. race is not a marathon race, but a trail marathon race which simply means that most of the time we will not be running on a road, but somewhere in the nature…
Already looking for Sunday and the challenge(the forecast is for rain too…) and yeap, even though I did 1h 27min on my last 21 km. race, I am definitely not trying to improve this time on this race. The reason is because I did this time on a road. And that is kind of different than running in the forest with 700 m. denivelation…
Update on what happened coming after the race!
Wish me good luck! 🙂
Update: This was the hardest and at the same time insanely cool sports event I have ever been part of! 21 km of just brutal mud, rain, the forest and crazy enthusiasts trying to overcome challenge after challenge. My time is obviously “a bit” slower compared to a normal marathon – just 1 hour slower, so you can imagine what the difference was. Again – highly recommend everyone participating in such a marathon especially with bad weather conditions. I have participated even at Legion Run, but this one… this one was better!
