Pure Grit 6 Hour Trail Race - May 3, 2025 - Hepworth, Ontario

 First race of the season is in the books running the Pure Grit 6 Hour at the Sawmill Cross Country trails on Saturday.   It was a chilly morning , 3C ,  no wind ,  no sun either.   Dressed in a long sleeve tech T ,  wool gloves, shorts with light running pants over them.  

 Had the pleasure of running with Patrick and Raj.  Stuck with them for 4 laps they were doing the "30K" race.   I went on to do one more lap officially credited with 37.5K on the day however the course was short and it was probably around 30K.     I finished my last loop at 5h14min.  I wanted to go out for a partial loop however it was " how ever many loops you can get done in 6 hours"...no problem!    I did however did a cool down 2K walk brining the days total to 32K ,  longest run this year!   

 Love the small local races ,  came in 3rd overall in the 6 hour race.   The kicker .... only 6 were registered and one no show! 

None the less I picked up a bottle of wine and a chocolate bar for my result!

Garmin Data 

 I did around 500 ml of water / loop about 2.5l all together.   The success of the day was fueling with Maple Syrup shots....it worked extremely well!  

 Up next in 3 weeks is my one and probably only 50K of the year the Great Mansfield...only a couple of long runs away.

 3k  walk on my meal break this eve.   6 hour race Saturday
