Adventure race. Trekking, run most of it.

Hills and swamps, we tried to take mostly roads and kep our feet dry. Well, my mates feet got soaked at 1:59 and mine at 2:18 into the race.

Did some stupid mistakes in 4 points, lost about 30min in there alltogether.

Wether was hot, +25C and we ran out of drink about 4h mark. So next 2hs was without anything to drink, that was tough. Then we got into waterstation and filled up.

Overall good effort from both of us, really happy about the distance and I think we did quite well. Results probably Monday.
