BXL20-2010
What a great race! Finished the BXL20 a full minute below my target. I started relatively easy, did well in the various tunnels and uphill in the Bois de la Cambre, and started speeding up from the top. Then at the bottom of Avenue de Tervuren gave it all I got until the finish. Avenue de Tervuren is steep but short, and you can focus on the obelisk right at the top.

Thank you Bernard Joseph from performateam.eu for the organisation and the final tips.
Learned a couple of things:
- next year I should try to be in the faster shift. I overtook a lot of people. It was crowded during the entire race which made it harder to run constantly at your own pace.
- bring a watch. Stupid of me not to have brought a watch. I ran on experience but could not benchmark my progress during the race.
- with bad weather, bring some old clothes to keep you warm when waiting, and throw them away at the start.
- gels work! Take them with water.
