In September, I struggled miserably Ślężański with teddy bear, nevertheless we decided to deal with the mountain again, this time in winter. I had no expectations, at a run, any limit to the finish. I went running surprisingly well, the way I had crises, a 7 and open space 2 in the category of knocked me off my feet.

I, good result that I owe a bit of the watch, to go silly and showed me laps rather than kilometers. On the way I saw only designation 14 km i 20 km (which proved to be marked for marathon). I ran so unaware of how much of me. Once I overheard runners, that that 12 km, once asked which one kilometer and at the end even if the finish (I heard less than a kilometer).

We left Wroclaw cheerful team with a positive attitude: winter, and mountain snow, going to be fun. And there was. On the road conditions were very variable but stable: It began as a small mud, by bigger mud, above it was wet, and compacted on top of the frozen ice and snow.

Uncontested narrow trodden path in the snow slowed slightly, which was commented, that women have wide hips, worse because they run narrow paths. Hmm, but that is what – I have wide hips? Atmosfera była świetna, merry conversation, friendliness and helpfulness of the route. By climbing on the rock I slipped and I was about to slump down, when someone grabbed the back of my ass up and podepchną. Really I helped me and I was sincerely grateful for the gesture. Then on the ropes, when I had a problem and did not know how to go glide heard how I do it and it went, safely I overcame a difficult passage. Below waited slush but I paid no heed to surface, shoes once again demonstrated its capabilities. I do not like them, I call anvils but the terrain is not better.

Women in both races took off a little, marathon completed 31 and I am full of admiration for them, each won! Half Marathon looks better up 78 women came to the finish line, ja byłam 7.
