RE: The Hutt River Trail Ultra Marathon – I survived it, just

in #sports7 years ago

Congrats dude on you achievement. 60 kms is a long way to go. In Holland we have a tradition the 4 day marches 4x40 km walk for woman and 4x50km for men and this is just walking. I did it once and everything hurted after while I had trained proper. Imagine with runninf. Lots of admiration am I sending you!

Wow! 4x50km is a very long way, even for walking. Respect back at you for doing that. I'm not sure my little old body wold cope with that. Well, maybe if there was a pub at the end of the 50kms ;-)

It was a long way, and the part that I didnt like about it, was that it was too crowded for me. Then you can not walk in your own pace, and that start to irritate. (Also being overtaken by 80 year olds didnt feel to good to be honest hahaha)

I know what you mean about being overtaken. This was the second time I was beaten by someone walking the entire race.

At least I had the advantage of running alone, so I didn't have to content with crowds. Not that there were a lot of runners, just 25.

So maybe you need to come to New Zealand for your long walks ;-)
