The first half or so was all uphill. As you may or may not know, I don’t do any sort of hill training so this was quite the challenge. I still ran, albeit at a snail pace, for all the road portions of the race so I managed to go from the back of the pack (since I started a bit late) to the middle as many people were walking those parts. Not that I blame them, my glutes and legs started burning way to soon and I kept questioning my sanity for getting out of my warm comfy bed way to early to put myself through this torture.
Congrats on your race. It sounds like it was a challenging one.
Thanks Kristi, it sure was!
Congrats beauty! With all those hills I doubt anyone would have been able to run the whole thing. You should be super proud of yourself 🙂
Thank you so much Davida!!! 😀
That sounds brutal! I’ve never done a trail race, and the one time I ran trails I was DYING.
I was dying the whole time, too. Maybe I should stick to road races from now on. 😛
Aww well done on your race, what a great achievement!
Thank you Jan. 🙂
Congrats once again- and best name ever!
Thanks Arman! Haha, so true. 😛
Awesome work! I often feel like I might be ‘running’ slower than people walking up a hill – it is such a snail pace!! Hope you’re recovering well 🙂
Thanks Corinne! I often feel like I run slower than some people walk too. Oh, well. 😛
Congrats on finishing Shawn! 🙂
Thanks Brandi! 🙂
Congrats! And love your new blog layout 😀
Thanks Liz, glad you like it. 🙂
Congratulations with your first race! The hills look amazing… I haven’t seen these types of hills/mountains in Taiwan before…but I would love to see more!
Thanks Rika! 🙂 You should definitely come for a visit soon. 😀
