I trained everyday last summer to complet a personnal accomplishement at the end of the summer. My goal was 30k, i could only do 25k. It took 2,5 hours. I will be restarting when the summer begins.

This course was designed to be challenging, it went from the high challenge cross country ski trails to dunes - and there were no gradual decents . Give you an idea the top runner (in shoes) was at 25:23. He told me afterwards be coped with the downhills by sliding down them rather than trying to run down them.

It was a lot of fun, these organizers are known for challenging courses

Congrats! Sounds like a brutal course too.

I signed up for a marathon in October (original goal under 4HRs, thinking of aiming for 3.5), a team (5 man) 100K relay just for fun in September.

There is a half marathon one week before the full one I would love to do but am thinking I know better.... than again, that never stopped me before

And a 5K run in may I intend to be under 20:00 on, which would up my PR by 40 seconds.
