Ultrarunner's notes

 Minčol for the fourth time (third time this year) and other joys I remember how I interviewed Braňo Zigo, the fresh finisher of the zero edition of BBU100, after Ultra Fatra last year, wanting to know what it was like. From what he described, it was a hell of a lot of fun. He mentioned something about a cake baked by a cat and a dog, something about the Súľov ridge at night, and that it was harder than the Malofatranská 100 . OK, I look up at him admiringly.

I heard and read rumors about the enthusiasm with which the local Stropkov Running Club prepare the event, legends about the nowadays rarely seen hospitality of local people and I was looking forward to getting to know another corner of Slovakia that was unknown to me. There are few runners on the starting list and even fewer women - up to six. Awesome, so if I don't DNF, I'm sure to place in the top six 💪 On the one hand, it's a shame that ultrarunners don't flock here, they miss out on a great experiences, a beautiful route and interaction with wonderful people. On the other hand, thanks to this, this event has a stamp of a small, family-like community event, and there...
