Wow!  A super busy weekend!

We don’t usually publish results from multi discipline events, but seeing as we had two club members representing Team GBR in their respective classes this weekend, we think they’re certainly due a mention.

Well done to Nur who took on the Chiltern Wonderland 50 mile trail ultra.

Superb effort Nur. 👍

A write up from Nur:
After timing out at Chiltern Wonderland 50 (CW50), a 50-mile trail race on the stunning Chiltern hills (5600ft elevation gain) last year, about a mile from the finish, I was determined to do my best this year to complete the course within the cutoffs.

Last year I lost time when I got lost twice (possibly losing at least 10 mins, if not more), ran out of gels which I could have done with in the last 10 miles of the race, and acted perhaps too cautiously as I found out just a few days before the race that I have low bone density.

This year I felt more ready, knowing what to expect in terms of the elevation profile and the terrain. I had better hydration and nutrition strategy. I was confident with the navigation. I thought I was fitter and I had certainly trained better this year. Unfortunately my perceived effort all the way to the second aid station was acutely different to the splits my watch was displaying. How could I be that slow?

Each aid station has a cutoff time and I became aware that I wouldn’t be making the cutoff for the third one. My run/walk efforts changed into a slow walk, taking in as well as taking photos of the stunning views. I felt disappointed in myself that I couldn’t finish.

I now have another unfinished business with CW50!

Some great runs yesterday.  Well done guys. 👍
