Went quite deep on this one.
I had done the trail once before a couple years ago so I remembered a lot but still the trail is tricky to follow.
Went well but not everything went smooth:
- I almost had to abort after I pulled my ankle twice on the first descent I don't want to risk injuring it and struggling with it again. Luckily after a few seconds rest the pain went away and as I continued running it was behaving so I kept going.
- I had lots of "oh no where is the trail!!" moments especially in the second half. The worst one was at the top of Harrison where I almost went down the wrong way.
- But the craziest thing was on one of the drops I got something wrong 🤷 and launched myself into the air. I literally flew almost 10ft! Luckily I got away with just a few scrapes and bruises.
- the last few miles my chest/abdomen was so cramped I could barely breathe!
All I ate was 1 gel halfway.
To do this FKT correctly you need really follow the official trail. There are a number of places where one can skip a bit or go on a parallel trail so beware!
