albeit belatedly, there is the chronicle of the ehun Milak, vacation, workouts and a few other things, I have become lazy, but goes well beyond "brick"
is a race that had the urge, I look forward an ultra next door, since I found out whom it was going to celebrate I have been in contact with the organizer Mike Valdivieso, and seen as it was working to make a great career, as it were.
On 16 July, there were over 260 brave to do the race of 168 kms (I think it went any more) and 150 for 88 (about 90 at the end, I read somewhere),
The day threatened rain, heat and humidity well, after many acquaintances greet me with those who will be my compis, Santi and Jose, with which I am a computer, Unai and Juan Luis who join the party with us.
sports
The intention is to make over 35 hours and try to win for the teams, both feasible in theory (theory that the end was not accomplished)
Leaving
very calm, enjoying the environment and people, a little jog to get the little sticks and start walking, people have gone faster, commented that there will be carnage, our pace is very quiet, even so we started down the time expected, after climbing to Mandubia, at km 10 first supplies, 1h 23, eat something and down, soon starts to climb the wall and the first Izazpi of the day, it starts to rain, we took raincoats that will accompany us muuuuuuuuuchas hours, the atmosphere in the race is very good, many people along the way, we are also having fun, effortless, and I weighed to the pace, going too fast , according expected, but we're really going very slow for our level, so I decide to keep quiet and let the normality prevails, let's not uncomfortable, this time slow and time out you have to leave.
the way down to Zumarraga, I find the Beñat decaironman Zubillaga, the kid has been pulled to the good life, with its 10 or 15 kilos more than when they finished second in the Jura or won the Ultraman Canada, talked some , and shooting for 3 hours adelante.En Zumarraga we just, we have put together Joseba Gurpegi, which had been left some discomfort delayed, but is recovering, standing about ten minutes, too much for me, I'm used to least but today I do not run alone, I go with people and we are all one. Leaving

Jose tells us that we throw forward now catches us he will do his things, we pull and no wonder catches us, we lower the rate, called me wondering why the road has been confused after a while we get it, but something does not block me, has been slow.
Refuge Xoxote Km 49, near the Erlo, begins a complicated downhill race, the Roman road that goes towards Azpeitia, give a curve and see at least 20 lights in front, each floor to pace, passing lamps and lights going, evil ends, we come to the road and wait for Unai and Jose going behind, we Azpeitia, there is holiness before us to sign together, 8h 50 and km 53, just 6 per hour rate to less than 33 hours, and the best with little effort, another stop 10 minutes, eat and drink up to 7 have a long climb and then a fall complicated, long stage to Toulouse, at least 4 hours. We climbed
pace, I'm going back very comfortable and I see that Jose is put behind me, it's weird because he always likes to go forward, half way up and through the mountain at 3 am, we found a civilian outside his farmhouse, watching the race and give us bottled water for drinking, freak, crowned the first rise, flat something, I'm a little forward and Gipuzkoa guys tell me that one of my friends (Jose ) has been very backward, stop, takes a while to come, has come to stop the download and is empty, has a bad stomach, goes wrong, Santi Unai and I stayed with him and the rest pulled forward, Juan Luis is waiting in the distance, slow down walk at times, very difficult to Zelatun down, we've lost a lot of progress, we come to the shelter, other supplies km 66, there are little over 100, 11 h 44, there is Juan Luis waiting for us, we eat something, Jose goes wrong, gets to the shelter, again the service, I'm getting cold, I'm going to heat, we say We first team, who have already retired several, but not me we arrived, about half an hour after we left, it seems that uploading a Ernio recovers, but in the fall and can not run, at the end Santi gets the and Unai and I threw down, I also hope I pick them, I'm and begins to spend a lot people, it becomes the day in Toulouse I run and I pass, I want to go fast for not staying cold, km 77 14h 09 and played a little moral, Santi comes and tells me not to expect to Jose withdrawing when it comes, as expected.
I change, like something Joseph was a little dejected, we encourage you, you fucked us, but things are so, was the strongest of the three, but bad weather, humidity, etc. has been able to your body.
Well now to follow the train and arrive, tipi-top after almost 40 minutes (eternal) we left, we Txolo meeting, the organizer of the Flysch Zumaia, beautiful career, a real earthquake, very good runner, lost and walk pissed, let a jerk, but we are making progress, I inadvertently bringing me, I'm in a movie, but I have decided to come up with Santi and Unai no longer go into classification, so I take it as a workout, plus I do not want to go alone and I'm excited to get all three together.
Amezketa km 95 17 h 40 and still with estimates below 35 hours, we say that Iker Karrera has retired, I have a little discomfort in the right tibial, and I received a call from my good friend Javi Basaldúa provided I called the race, and always there to encourage me, is much appreciated.
hereby
70 kms, and start a new career, have always said that at that point the race really began, and has not managed forces, would pay much, is the ups and downs of the two major Txindoki and Aitzgorri.
Leaving Amezketa
of atmosphere, we fast to Lizarraitz, many people began to climb Txindoki, many people down, I set the pace and we're passing people, the first track, then mud, more mud we got to the hill and the thing is Malita, mud, some fog, we passed people coming down to the hill, go without sticks and are struggling, and nearly crowned in 20 hours and 93 km, the descent is very dangerous back to the hill and strongly advise people that this control on the hill, drawing attention to the "rulers" that's too bad the thing up, and that it is better than lower the Collado control step, we hike the Gambo, found our way with difficulty, wind, Lidia remember much of that will have passed this at night, knowing as low as it will have gone wrong, when the call can be as she rides his career. Unai
talk to his wife, and says it is following the race online, you will wonder how Lydia and says it has already gone through Etxegarate long time, and that is third (information on line and was fifth going at the time), rush me, besides the fog will begin to Lizarrusti the noble descent, we passed the dam Lareo, give me the luxury of stopping to talk with people who are on travel, nice track and lowered by Lizarrusti 115 km, border Navarra and Gipuzkoa, in the mountains of Aralar.

Etxegarate Going down, we see a guy who has fallen with Red Cross people, I pull forward to reach al avituallamiento,llego y no me dejan entrar porque no voy con el de mi equipo, hay una pequeña confusion porque no han avisado que uno se ha retirado y ya no estamos en carrera como equipo,viene Santi , y entramos, alli estan Josu,Luis y David el Dandarrez taldea que les han neutralizado en Amezketa,por mal tiempo en la zona del Txindoki,sin entrar en mas detalles,aunque una putada para los neutralizados,viendo como estaba el tema,cosa lógica.

My dear Lydia brings me to the sports car that almost 2 kms of arrival, I shower, I heal the sores that have been my only cross the career, Juan Luis breakfast in the end has echo 21 and 34h 21.
Unai has been the 34 as we thought, without running much we have ahead of many people from km 43 to goal.
Achievement sleep for an hour in the van of Oscar and Monty, who have been so we could get some sleep, a detail more of this lovely couple.
After washing my face and get dressed, get out of there, espitao, with a great energy, going towards goal to see many people get known, Paco Robles, Juan Carlos, Andasto, Meritxell etc, and start to enjoy the echo, here's the best food in Cider with Oscar and Montse, Lizarrusti afternoon stroll, remembering echo hours earlier.
My first 100 miles, and positive without a doubt, Mont Blanc good workout for many lessons learned, duties, custom-made pieces and shared experience with friends.
Imanol congratulate the winners and Neil, great riders and good people, I have the fortune to have shared moments and conversations with both.
also encourage people not able to finish for various reasons, in many cases get a start and is a triumph, and there will be more races to finish the job.
As epilogue, commenting that for me has been a great race, with point and Fixed bugs with an incredible organization's treatment, but I'll take the love of the people I was seeing us and especially to the work of volunteers, more amazing than ever here, with words of support provided, words agredecían in bad times, which in my case there have been few, but they have been.
As I write this 1 month after the race, saying that the recovery was perfect, just the accumulated sleep builds up more and could not sleep like god until Wednesday, I gave him a 15-16 rout hours to bed, since that time, the body returned to normal again, starting to train at UTMB, a goal that hopefully in 15 days, we managed well.
