Csolnok ring- didn't finish due to the thunderstorm and a change of route. I was wearing a running vest and was completely soaked and worried about the lightning. Then we were directed into the village and that was it. Fuck it I thought. For the 1st time I was able to run the Nagy Gete and my first walk was after Tokod on the last partof the hill before the easy running came- maybe if the path hadn't been so narrow and overgrown I would have managed I then walked a total of 3 times on the next hill before the CP and the village and then basically wlaked from the hill into the village until the end. Met gábor and his daughter, Izabella, at the top of the Nagy-Gete. No Ps. The coffee before setting out did the trick as I had a pit stop before the village.  5.48,4.42,6.50,5.23,5.45 1st CP, 7.51,6.53,6.51,7.09,8.06 I was under 10 kms for the 1st hour.  7.52,12.07,7.28,5.58,10.47 Going down from the Nagy-Gete was terrible as there were so many people for the 1st part. 5.42,6.19,6.28,5.41,6.23,8.17,9.27,7.25,7.35,7.58,6.8 av. For the 1st 23 kms I was 4.53 slower than last year but nearly 4 mins of that 12.07 km split which was 8.16 last year so I'm guessing that the terribly slow descent from the Nagy-Gete and if you take into account that accidentally took a short cut to the 4th CP then we're lloking at basically the same time but I was stronger this year and was never tempted to walk except on the steep uphills. A big difference between this year and last year is how much running I did this week in comparison with last year - this year 37 kms inc a 17 km off-road run, last year just 1 lap of the Old Lake.
