Samui Festival Marathon&Trail on our speed dating took last year. The festival was held marathon, half-marathon, ten and five, and organized for the first time trail – 30k. We fell in love garishly colored T-shirts, Maciek was determined to find the trail I wanted to run a marathon.
Patiently we waited half a year to date and announced the program of the festival 2019. We were surprised by some changes, the most important concerned the liquidation of the marathon distance and modification of TRAIL. The route was extended to 35 km and changed place expo, The start and finish of Naton – port in the center of the Hin Lad – waterfalls bit more off the beaten track. Despite this, we decided, we're going, We fired up and leave the planning machine started.
12 September following 7 hours on the bus and over 3 the ship landed on the island of Koh Samui. Reception packages planned in conjunction with a mandatory briefing 14 September at 16. Nie, not “Lamka caught fire warning” outside, organizer that advertise the presence of the briefing due to the fact that the course is very difficult. Difficult it is difficult, know we run through the jungle and mountains, it will not be easy.
I was not surprised compulsory equipment, only I wondered what gloves are recommended? then, while running, I grabbed the thorny liana and wiped his hands on hard stones and bamboo, I mentioned them bitterly.

Binding lasted 45 minutes and did not understand a word.

At issue was the start of the route profile and nutritional km points, where is the water, food and control the given time in which we have to fit. On puntach will control us the numbers to mark the presence of. Dot. You have to be an hour before the start, because the equipment will be checked.

still I am thinking, that awaits us walk, because announcements and information were standard gear for mountain, and not for connections with racing przeszkodowymi the unusually long – 35 km distance!
