Finalment, 10 mesos després del meu abandonament per hipotèrmia a Cavalls de Vent 2011 puc dir que ho he assolit i he pogut correr un ultra trail el "2 Cares Aneto" de 67 Kms i 3.870 metres de desnivell acumulat...acompanyat i al ritme fins el km 50 de dos MDS (Manu i Sime) que em van donar vàries lliçons durant el XTB-XAVIhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12678582264933494611noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2121615203838722698.post-88970829546405752532012-05-30T10:29:00.000+02:002012-05-30T10:29:15.465+02:00COLLSEROLA RUNNING & ULTRA TRAIL RUN - ANETO & CdV 2012!!!Bon dia!

Friends,
Yesterday, I did this 2 x 6,000 m test proposed by Coke and Pau from our Barcelona Dragons Triathlon Club and the result was:
First 6K Avg. pace = 4'41''
Second 6K Avg. pace = 4'26''
Difference = 15''
...therefore, I should be running slower then, my tentative goal should be: SUB 3H30'
Pace between 4'45'' and 4'56'
Possible finish time = 3h20'26'' but more realistic XTB-XAVIhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12678582264933494611noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2121615203838722698.post-65450677213685184172011-01-31T19:43:00.003+01:002011-02-03T11:17:33.071+01:00MITJA BARCELONA 1 H 32´46 ´´ !!!Friends,
