I learned about this event five years ago from one JJ Frend, who participated in it and described it very beautifully. I put this start on the list for the future and forgot about it for a while. The next time I remembered in 2019 during a triatlon hobby and registered.

Disclaimer: Automatically translated from Russian At the end of 2021, after participating in the N70 trailer marathon, as I already wrote about it, there was an idea to try to run all the marathons of the Netherlands. At that time, I already had registration for the Eindhoven marathon. And since I already ran him in 2016 year, then I decided to turn in the slot and run away something new.

Disclaimer: Automatically translated from Russian This year, after a two-year break, a 10 km race was again held in Maasdijk. I have already taken part in it twice: in 2017 and 2019 years. Both times returned with personal records. The latter (36:24) still holds on. There were no chances of improving the larva this time, but there was no desire to go to participate, and what else. For some reason, I really like this relatively small race.

Although restrictions have been introduced, participation is only if there is a QR code. At first I wanted to score, but I had to pick up prizes over the past two years ago, Mokums Cross Circuit. So in a day I had to go pass the PCR test to get the QR code.

Disclaimer: Automatically translated from Russian Rest from 40-kilometer anniversary racepassed surprisingly quickly — a day later, on Wednesday, I already went on a test run. Everything went fine — the legs ran, the hands waved, the pleasure was enjoyed. Memories of this “ practically the marathon ” were still warm and I decided that for that matter, you can run them (marathon) more. Exactly more. Without long-term preparatory plans, without food pads and, ideally, without suffering at a distance.

Disclaimer: Automatically translated from Russian The road ten. Despite the fact that Ruitenburg Run Maasdijk managed to improve the personal record by 35 seconds (until 36:24), there was some dissatisfaction with the result. The question — did not give rest, but how could it have passed if the weather were better? Would you like to run out of 36 minutes? To test this in August, I began to look for a suitable race.
