Trail Run race (Otter prologue ) 21:52 [5] *** 4.9 km (4:28 / km) +140m 3:54 / km
shoes: Salomon Speedcross 3
So, it was finally time for the Otter! This was a Retto year, so starting at Natures Valley and ending at Stormsriver mouth (opposite to the classic hiking direction). Race HQ was at Stormsriver, so the prologue was around there. The prologue route was on a nice technical little 4.9k on a hiking trail. I was hoping to get into the top 24 group (Abangeni) who are the first starting batch for the main race. Really pushed hard (maybe a little too hard in fact!), and managed 11th place and safely in the Abangeni (the challengers) for the main race. Legs felt really good today, happy with the way that went, so was looking forward to the main race! (Forgot my GPS pod, so no GPS data)
