Croatia 2021: Sljemenski marathon, July 18
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOcEhQ-X3fk I'm writting this one year later. Today is the "celebration" of my first spraint ankle, which was the moment when my running mania started to go down. I didn't realize it then, since it was the first time something like that ever happened to me, but from there on I even stopped writing on … Continue reading Croatia 2021: Sljemenski marathon, July 18
Romania 2021: “how to (not) run with sprained ankles” @Faget Tour Fortech, oct 17th
Please let's take a moment for a life lesson =)) This post is not just about how my race went, but about the stubborness of a runner. Let me tell you : even if you feel uninvincible, you too can get hurt. And if you do get hurt, don't underestimate it. The right thing to … Continue reading Romania 2021: “how to (not) run with sprained ankles” @Faget Tour Fortech, oct 17th

Romania 2021: MSG Maraton apuseni
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z10W6_7QsDU&ab_channel=SurduDenisa After almost 2 years signing up (before Corona), it finally happened: Apuseni Halfmarathon ! It was my third time, if I remember correctly. Only that this year, the course was on reverse, meaning we had to run straight and downhill 15km, which for me was quite boring. I vote for the "normal" way, but … Continue reading Romania 2021: MSG Maraton apuseni
Romania 2021: Rodnei Sky Race, 3 July
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2frTFKwfY04&t=19s Is my third time participating this race. First time, 2018 for the long course - 26k, second time 2019 for the shorter course - 16k and this year, even though I felt brave enough and signed for the long one again, the weather as so bad that officially they had to cancel the 26k … Continue reading Romania 2021: Rodnei Sky Race, 3 July
Romania 2021: Cross Hoia Fortech, 27 June
Here's a race with a twist: a twisted ankle :))) I've been injured 3 weeks ago and even though I've done everything by the book at first, rest was no longer the answer for me. The pain was still there, but I signed up for this race before the ankle incident, so there was no … Continue reading Romania 2021: Cross Hoia Fortech, 27 June
Romania 2021: Winter Wolf Race Oradea, 14 March
Maybe Winter Race isn't the right way to name this race, since we were running surrounded by spring flowers and bright green wild garlic . Even the trees started to sprout... I'm not complaining though, winter scenary is not my only favourite. I feel better with colorful nature 🙂 Nevertheles, this was another race that … Continue reading Romania 2021: Winter Wolf Race Oradea, 14 March
Romania 2021: Vladeasa Winter Trail, 21 feb
https://youtu.be/VNNxYlMM97M Oh, the holly race! The one that used to be a freezing hell.. But of course nothing is normal nowadays anymore so it's only logical for Vladeasa Winter Race to be 110% sunny and extra 30 degrees celsius compared to past editions. See 2018 edition See 2019 edition I tried to learn from my … Continue reading Romania 2021: Vladeasa Winter Trail, 21 feb
Romania 2021: Faget Winter Race Virtual, January 16th
First race of the year! Aaand the first virtual race I ever signed up for. Since the pandemic started, I kind of fell off the radar with the races. This kind of "competition" is not really to my liking, so I skipped all the virtual runs. I always thought it's going to be over soon … Continue reading Romania 2021: Faget Winter Race Virtual, January 16th
