 | Running race (Trail) 1:29:09 [4] 10 km (8:55 / km) +360m 7:33 / km | |
| shoes: Asics (pair 1) |
| 1er partida del Circuito de Carreras de Montañas. From San Bernadino to Entrada Sabas Nieves, so had a long (>1km) uphill at the start, and two shorter very steep uphills between Quebrada Chacaito and Sabas Nieves. We had to decent from Sabas Nieves by the main trail (yuk!). Wasn't very fast (not up to full energy from my stomach problems earlier in the week), but at least my knee wasn't too bad. Somewhat humid in the woods.
Ascent stated is taken from the guia El Ávila, assuming that the start at San Bernadino is exactly 1000m, and that there's no downhills on a sector where the end point is higher than the end point (and vica verca). Of course I know neither of these assumptions are true.
14:26 - to top of initial hill
32:03 - to PGP Chacaito
30:54 - to Sabas Nieves
11:47 - to finish at Entrada Sabas Nieves |
| Hashing 1:30:00 [1] | |
| shoes: Asics (pair 1) |
| Avila Hash above El Hatillo. Walked with everyone else, due to the race earlier in the day. |

| Note | |
| (sick) |
| Got home last night from the hike (actually a party after the hike - although I didn't drink anything as I wasn't feeling good) about 8:30 fealing nausious and had a fever. Went straight to bed. Today felt very week and nausious - no solid foods. |

| Hike down to a river South of Caracas. Had to cross the river several times, and plenty of opportunities for scrambling round waterfalls. On the way back up it was exceptionally hot (even the Venezuelans were complaining about the heat!). |
