5 Peaks Trail Run Race 2023 @ Goldbar Park

 

Sunday July 23rd, I finished 8th place out of 26 in the Men aged 40-49 category and overall 40th out of 239 Results. It took me 45 minutes to complete 1 lap and a total of 7 km's long. The total Elevation gain was 413 feet. My average heart rate was 186 bpm and max was 202 bpm. 

The course was awesome because it was on my favourite MTB trails with lots of climbing. I had a really fast start and held that pace until about the five km mark then I walked a little bit and recovered enough to have a really good finish. I had a great time racing today. 

The temperature was deg 26 C. I would like to thank all the volunteers and 5 Peaks for putting on such a great event.
