FKT: Jan Reisloehner - Zeugenbergrunde (Germany) - 2022-03-12

After a more sleepless than sleepy night, a coffee as well as like a bowl of oatmeal, I set off for Neumarkt. In my luggage I had 3 GU's a Cliff Bar and a liter of water. All packed in my hydration vest from Balck Diamond. My goal was to see the conditions of the trail of the Zeugenbergrunde. In addition, my partner was on board. She had a tournament in her sport. After 16 km on the trail, about the time when I was about to turn back I received a message from her. "Take your time my love, the tournament will go on forever today". Without further hesitation I decided to finish the round. 1.5 liters of water and 3 GU's left I made myself to the remaining 35 k. The first 40 k went great, but then the lack of hydration and food was very much noticeable. In the last 5 k I could also no longer really run. All in all a cool and worthy experience, but I would approach it next time a little more planned and also not jog 2 km to the start and start at the actual trailhead.
