This was one of the most beautiful races I ever have done. And the hardest.
Start was at 11:00, so it was already quite hot (25 degrees C), first refreshment station was at 14th kilometer, after a lot of ascend (almost all of it). I was sweating like never before and i must to hike a lot. But then I reached the ridge of Krížna and there were breathtaking views… Suddenly all the effort was worth it.
I really enjoyed the views, usually I didn’t take photos during the race, but this time I cannot resist. Surprisingly the hardest part of this run was the downhill. It was really steep, muddy and slippery, so I needed to slowing down (ouch my thighs…) and carefully choose my next steps.
