A report on the Bittrail of 29 March 2026, a 20 km cross-country run made tiring more by the elevation gain than by the distance. With a CamelBak full of water and my energy rationed from the start, the course got even harder on the stony stretches, where tripping was easy, and on the mud left by the previous day's rain.
On Sunday I ran this trail, a long 20 km cross-country race. It was challenging not so much because of the distance, but because of the significant elevation gain. Fortunately, I brought my trusty CamelBak with a good supply of water and managed my energy well from the start, because I knew the route would be demanding.
Some sections were even more difficult because of the rocks, which made running harder and increased the risk of tripping, as well as the muddy and slippery ground caused by Saturday's rain.
