Itinerary description
Mountain halfmarathon race in village Valtesiniko in Arkadia. It is organized by charity organization "Φλογα" and all income from sing fees goes to the charity itself.
Route was a loop around hills of Arkadia, starting and finishing in village of Valtesiniko, about 1050m altitude. The race was a fast one, 99% of the route was runnable, without big-grade climbs nor downhills. The biggest problem of the day was the heat, with the race starting fairly late in the day, at 10:30 and finishing around noon. Luckly enough, about 3/4 of the route passed through quite dense forest offering shadow and cooler temps. Only first and last kilometers (around the village) were exposed and difficult in terms of heat.
I managed to finish 2nd overall (and in my age category) with time 1:52'40", which is pretty awesome! I havent been running much lately (not in the mountains nor beyond 12-14km distances) so it feels even more awesome :-D
