Endur Stage 7 = Full Marathon

 That a wrap on the 2024 Endur Ultimate event.   Ran a great marathon to wrap it up,  allbeit and easy pace even getting a negative split



It was 5 laps of an 8+k loop.  The weather wasn't too bad ,  super humid at the start getting better a we went along.  




I took an S Cap gelled and drank 500 ml of water heading out on each loop more or less walking 400 meters.   I also took one cup of water at the 5K aid station on the way back.   Felt like I had enough of the base needs.    There was a couple of small hills in the last K I walked them just as a break from the constant running.    Heart rate was reasonable.   I could have pushed it more but I wasnt trying for a specific time just wanting to keep it under 5 hours. 




Cadence was pretty consistent with the exception of picking it up a bit at the end of the race. 




I finished 24th out of 40 participants in an official time of 4:56:57.
