3:09

Success! 3:09 for the Aletsch Halfmarathon. 21.1 Km with 1050 m of height difference. But I made some mistakes... First of all I didn't put any time in my online registration and therefore I started in the last block with the slowest, and being the race almost 80% on trails so narrow that you cannot overcome anyone, well.... I had to run at the speed of the group, and it was not that fast! At a certain point we stopped for more than 6 minutes for some reasons! No movements at all!!

But the race was wonderful, maybe too hot. Many people felt ill at the end. I saw people vomiting at the arrival... maybe because we were high in the sky. The race starts at 2000 m and finishes at 2700m!

Well now I have to consider the Jungfrau Marathon. For several reasons I may not have the time to train properly. I have to decide what to do. I will have to be away for some weeks in which it will be very difficult to train...

For now I am very satisfied. I will post some photos soon...
