Had a good day yesterday , approached it as a nice lazy little 30K trail run. Mentally easy ...yes, physically easy , not so much more a moderate effort. Had a slightly negative split....
Nailed the hydration and nutrition. It was 6 laps , each lap I grabbed a GU Gel and a 500ml bottle of water. Did a run walk to the aid station on the loop then disposed of the bottle and GU pack.
I went out easy intentionally. Heat came on in the last hour otherwise it was a pretty comfortable day. Finished 22nd out of 34 starters , official time was 3:50:17 yielding a 7:41 pace. My go to trail race pace is usually 7:30 so I am quiet please with the 7:41 based on the easy start and moderate finish.
Unfortunately we dropped 4 participants from the Ultra , 2 DNS's and 2 DNFs. Hopefully the still come out as guest runners.
