This was my first race of the summer season, a 22km trail race in Torgon (Switzerland) that climbs 1800m.
I followed behind the lead pack on the first climb. Despite some low clouds and rain which was actually refreshing, the views were amazing and peaceful.
After a hard push towards the top of the climb the descent was fast and slippery, although I felt ok going down I’ve got a lot more to work on.
I finished in 2h25min, initially in 4th place which later changed to 2nd. A few of the runners took a wrong turn going up and cut past the second aid station so they had time penalties.
A brilliant race and hope to return next year!
