Arc of Attrition 50 miler

Race Reports

Report from Sam Maygothling.

UTMB World Series

51 miles/ 10800ft of climb / 8hr 37mins

What a race that was on the Cornish coastal path, battling the elements as well as the underfoot conditions i probably put together my best race preformance so far to come away with 12th overall in a very competitive field

Definitely a race of two halves, first half like an old school herefordshire xc mudfest followed by a second half of harder packed trails with faster runnable sections although mostly standing water involved

Even though the conditions underfoot were ridiculously difficult throughout the course but i felt strong on the climbs and the technical sections, a good confidence booster at this distance going forward, roll on @ultratrailsnowdonia 100k in may !

Massive respect to Rory Bennett and Tom Bennett taking on the 100 miler which started thr day before during the worst that storm ingrid had to offer!!
