On Saturday September 18 from members of the Mountain section JC Pallets Athletics Club, sponsored by Intersport, were present at one of the toughest races and better organized than can be in the national calendar of races for mountain, Botamarges second edition, proof of 63 kilometers and 3000 vertical meters uphill.
The expedition was formed by Diego M.
Vidal, Pepe Saez, Nacho Campos and his friend Simon Martinez, who left on Friday afternoon to spend the night in the town of Pego, located 7 miles from the exit point of proof would be on Saturday at 6 am in Forna.
At this time began the hard path of more than 250 participants, willing to overcome a very technical track and harder still, which amounted to peaks such as the Alto de La Safor, almost 1000 meters and a vertical mile, the Upper Quarry Benirrama or Forna.
In turn, this test was scoring for the Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc 2011.
Spectacular drive, vertical ascents, descents and a spectacular 10 to the organization both by treatment and by the amount of provisioning.
Regarding the results, Diego went off in the test upon its completion in a time of 10h: 57:37, ending at position 83 overall.
Pepe, despite making a few extra kilometers to go wrong in a section of the course, completed the test in 15h: 30:09.
Nacho, who from kilometer 35 was dragging problems, he was at the gates to retire at kilometer 60, in the absence of higher Forna Castle, while Simon finished with a great time of 13h: 20:54.
Despite the high hardness of the race, this is one of the quotes that every lover of the mountains must perform at least once as it is very difficult to find a test for beauty and organization to overcome the Botamarges.
