Pre K42 Mallorca

18th March 2017

Made it to Mallorca via Barcelona for the K42 Mallorca race in Paguera on Sunday 19th March. First mountain race of the year and I'm happy to be back out there on the trail. It's been a tough winter nursing problems in my wonky left leg which meant that plans had to change and change again. It meant listening to sense and reason (thanks Vo2max coaching) and being patient. I'm confident that that reasoning will give me another wonderful year out here in Europe and beyond in the world of trail running.

First time racing in Mallorca... in the Spanish mountains generally to be honest, although I've had the opportunity to run with some remarkable Spanish trail runners in the past.

The event Organisers have us looked after well and have put us in the safe and capable hands of Sergio who has taken us out on the finish of the usual course this morning. The route is changing this year as the usually dry river bed run for the latter part of the race is currently full of water. So we won'tactually be running that section but it was nice to get a feel for the terrain ahead.

Here's what a few of us had to say last night:
