The first one the AP Trail Run 25k on PEDRA AZUL, a district of my state simply amazing. It was 25k (really 21,8k) with no more than 890m on altitude gain, extremely hard. I went to Pedra Azul on the morning of the race and didn't made my subscription, my only goal was make a good training. Started very confortable and keep that pace for the entire race, when we crossed the mark of km 17 I started to feel tired specially because the second part of the race was harder, specially on the descends that a friend of mine came together until the finish line. It was a good pace at all, and I should br 4th General in the race.
Feeling very tired by the evening when I woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom my legs just could not respond, exactly like a marathon and I tought, my god should I race tomorrow on my XCM 60k? There is no way, the only answer it is YES.
A feel more hours sleeping and here I go to the race feeling my legs over weight.
So, met my friends, chat a little and here we go, started very very cool and after warm felt my legs better and started to let the hammer. Since the race wasn't with so much altitude gain I could be able to make a good pace, cought some guys and finished well on 7th on my age group.
Weekend now for FEIJOADA and beer with some Samba music in the background.
PS. the following week was a NIGHTMARE!!! just relaxing focus on the next weeks on Adventure Races.
