Running race (Silvrettarun 'Medium') 4:05:56 [3] 18.66 mi (13:11 / mi) +5267ft 10:24 / mi
shoes: Inov-8 Trailroc 245 (2nd pair)
Wow.
Alpine running is intense. Up. Up. Up. REALLY UP! REALLY UP! Snow on the ground. 10" of snow on the ground! Finally: hooray! Top of the world! Treacherous snowy descent for a couple of miles, then sweet double-track through one of the most gorgeous places I've ever been. I wish I had taken my phone for some pics, 'cause words (from me, anyway) will never suffice.
Incredibly tough for the distance. Mental challenge extremely high from about mile 10 on.
Oh, and cows. Hundreds, right below the snowline. And shaggy, muscular horses. So many mellow, melodious cowbells.
Glad I got to do this race. New experiences rule!
