It’s been a long 5 weeks with 5 races ( 3 of them ultramarathons) in 5 weeks. Over the weekend was running Sai Kung 54k race and was leading till 45k into the race before some asshole sabotaged the course marking and I got lost. In the middle of nowhere someone takes down 20 course marking ribbons and marks a completely different course in the wrong direction 😣. Ended up running around for 30min before getting back on the course together with two other runners who got lost as well. At that point 6 hours into the race we just agreed on taking it easy and running together to the finish line for a combined 2nd place. Even though I was super disappointed when I got lost, in the end I got a nice long 57k run with 3000m or gain and made two new friends 👌 - as competitive as I’m running to the finish line with two total strangers was a really special moment and suddenly getting lost and losing the lead didn’t matter too much and more as now I have made two new friends.
