My 8th place in the 2018 IAU 100k World Championships

What a race, can’t quite believe it all came to gether and I had the race of my life at the World Championships to finish 1^st GB team Athlete | 2^nd European placing 8^th overall and World Masters MV40 100k World Champion in the 2018 IAU 100k World Championships.

So the 2018 IAU 100k World Championships were held in the Croatian town of Sveti Martin na Muri hosted the 2018 IAU 100k World Championships. It was a slightly unusual course for a 100-kilometer world championships, which are usually hosted on flat routes. This course netted about 800 meters (2,600 feet) of climb over 100k via constant hills. The course was made up of one initial 2.5km out-and-back followed by 13 out-and-backs that were 7.5km in length.

I loved the course, it suited my running perfectly.  Watch the YouTube video to hear my thoughts and race summary here.
