Traditional January training
traditionally “half-marathon”, or 24 km.
This year I am offended at Datasport because he wrote to me: I've been better. Yes, last year by over 4 minutes… In fact, it gets worse every year, but I decided to make it to the anniversary celebration 10 Ślężański Mountain Winter Marathon.
Somehow I have a strange feeling, that every year the organization is also weaker, people less polite and worse atmosphere. This year the medal was the same as last year, only it was different in color, damage, that the tradition of a different pattern every year was abandoned.
I was afraid of the conditions on the route, the organizer was frightening “ice rinks” and recommended crampons. I knew, that the most important thing is legs and extreme caution. Traditionally, the goal was the finish line. First 10 km was difficult, there were icing events. I was also very careful on the descent, there was more snow, frozen ruts and treacherous stones. Maciek hit the ground running, Fortunately, I missed out on such pleasure.
From a runner, who stated, that this was the most difficult section and then she brazenly pushed herself onto the rocks in front of me – I heard it at my attention, that it's a competition and whoever is faster is better. No ok, let it fly only on a straight section and a wide path. Gdzie te czasy, that runners helped each other, they stopped and asked if it was ok and to help. Now time pressure and competition are the most important…
