Started exactly at 10:00. Had borrowed two trackers from Race Tracker and used that in addition to my Coros Apex. Was a beautiful day with clear sky and temperature around 10 degree Celcius. Started off at the target speed of 5:10 min / km. Had a good flow all the way in this fantastic landscape. Gread energy (even if I was only fueling with chocolate and snacks.). No big issues. My plan was to aim for sub 8 hours unsupported. But regarding "unsupported"; I had a "bad" friend showing up at the course providing me an ice cold beer. Fantastic. Just what I needed. I could not say no, and chugged that down. Needed energy. Anyway... no "unsupported" due of that. That beer moved it up to be an "supported" FKT. That is life. And with regards to sub 8 hours goal -- that is another story. At some point I had to cross a narrow path (with heavy forrest / trees at each side). And there it was. A big cow in the middle of my road. Starring at me. I could not pass it. Big trouble. I had to jump into the forrest and move quietly to pass it. At the end I manged to pass that big coq. There I lost many many minutes. The rest of the race was ok. No major issues.
