I use to run dragon back route few years ago, but this is the first time I experience the “back side of the dragon” full route (from 6km to 16km), it is so phobia with the “S route”. Since begining of the race, I already start prepare to reserve energy, roughly knew there are many slopes waiting for me in front.
Until the 6km, I start to climb slope one by one until 16km. I always run faster when going up, but run slower when getting down, not sure is it cause by my long legs.
After 16km, I basically used up all my energy, cannot affort anymore slope, I keep myself moving on the flat road. Until 19km, unexpected to see a slope again, and I make my first walk here, with disappointed feeling.
My mental get weeker after my first walk, I almost wanted to DNF the race at 21km point as I dunno how much distance leave to finishing point, luckily I didn’t.
In the end, I manage to get a top 10 trophy, happy and disappointed at the same time.
