That's heroic stuff, Sweder. I feel knackered now, exactly as if I've just run the race myself.

There's great writing here. Not many donkeys in a Spanish race, yes -- and that indoor area of the stadium with its aroma of Ralgex and defecation. The scene comes alive in all the pungency of a pre-race panic.

The course sounds different this year. You ran all the way up to the Tryp Indalo -- one more long climb to add to the three already in the route? If so, that makes your PB all the more remarkable, and the race organisers even more sadistic than before...

Great run. Heroic, and brilliantly captured.

Congratulations, S., on your PB and report. It made me relive the experience although at a slower pace.

Nigel, the climb at avenida del Mediterráneo was just as last year as far as the bridge. On the second lap this year we didn´t have to get so far since we turned right along the course followed by the 10 km participants last year.
