North Downs 50k – Ultra Challenge –

Our very own Samantha Hastie tackled this tough Ultra on Saturday. 

 

See how she got on…..

 

 

The North Downs Way is beautiful, forest pathways and stunning views are a great distraction. The course is undulated, with some fun, steep declines. There are quite a few sandy stretches, so maybe The Harbour Wallbanger was good training! I felt relaxed throughout, even my exploding soft bottle didn’t wobble me too much other than being a sticky mess!

 

 

Although, I probably went off a bit too quick, slowing down at 30K, I had a blast!

 

 

Action Challenge put on great events. Anyone wanting to try an ultra for their first time, this is a great place to start. Im always happy to keep someone company! 😃

 

 

Well done Sam who completed the tough 50k course in 06:57:24 which is a new CLUB RECORD!
