Busy Sunday
So the weekend wasn’t only about enjoying mountain cinematography. Yesterday morning, we also had the chance to run a race in La Malinche, one of the highest volcanoes in the country, in the state of Tlaxcala.
Skyrace Malinche is organized by our friends from the Solo Para Salvajes racing circuit. It consists of a very straightforward run from the base of the mountain to its summit and back, a total distance of 16 km with an elevation gain of almost 1,300 meters.
Luis, Nahila, Chalita and me got together once again to run the race, and the results were really good overall. Luis got 3rd place in his category while Nahila won 2nd place for women overall (amazing!). I finished 68 out of 221 runners with a good time of 3:03:05 and a couple of thrashed quadriceps. As always, we managed to have some great time together! 
Race pictures are here.
