Running in circles

The 1st edition of the Trailsport 12-hour Ultramarathon took place yesterday morning. Luis had the idea of organizing this race since a little more than a month ago. For this edition, the plan was to invite his closest running friends to endure 12 hours of running along the 2km course of El Sope in Chapultepec.

The race began at 12 a.m. and we enjoyed a beautiful night sky with a bright moon. I ran a conservative amount of kilometers by completing 35 laps (70 km) in 9 hours 58 minutes, taking 2 hours 2 minutes to stretch, eat and rest. Other crazy people ran a lot more, with Luis finishing at the 1st place with 54 laps (108 km) under his feet.

All I can say is that the event was amazing. It was really great to run this unique kind of (mental-torture-fest) ultra with the good friends :)
