Burning legs
Sergio, Octavio and I ran the 16 km of Skyrace Malinche on Sunday morning. It's another race from the Solo Para Salvajes running circuit.
Both of them ran a good race. I on the other hand, managed to increase 16 minutes to my record from last year, finishing the 16 km roundtrip in 3:18:15.
I felt well for all of the course climb, arriving to the volcano's summit at the same time as my tracked run from last year. The descent, however, became really painful. My quads felt like they were going to explode so I had to slow down my pace considerably. The consequences of my lack of proper downhill training... Nevertheless, we had a great time running this challenging race.
On our way back to Mexico City, we made a short stop at Rio Frío to eat some delicious mushroom soup and cecina adobada :)
