Running 9:39:34 [2] 61.99 km (9:21 / km) +2938m 7:34 / km
Lap of the Cederberg with Tim; Wolfberg cracks > Arch > Tafelberg > Sneeuberg > Maltese cross.
Longest run of my life by quite a bit! Was pretty nervous heading into this, as if things started to go badly there wasn't really anywhere to pull out once we went past 35km-ish.
Felt pretty shitty for the first few kms as the body was still asleep at 5am. But started feeling decent for the next while heading to Tafelberg at 20km.
Quads started to feel a bit twitchy from then onwards, so was very wary of possibly cramping at some stage later on and trying to make sure that I kept things very controlled and comfortable.
Suffered a bit on the climb up to Sneeuberg on a bit of a sugar low and just generally feeling pretty tired, but then had a nice little recovery at the top and started to feel pretty decent again.
Last 15km or so felt decent and hit some decent paces on the flats - energy levels feeling good, but quads just constantly on the verge of cramping so had to take a few short walking breaks.
But got to the end in one piece and a massive day on the feet.
Pretty stoked to get through that, and happy to see that my body could handle that sort of distance with no real issues or niggles coming up afterwards, and feel like I've recovered pretty quickly.
