Kevin Batters from Kent was the first person who led the coast of Mallorca And he hopes that the standard that he installed will inspire Oher Ultra Runners or athletes not only to follow his example, Embarck in the same adventure, but also gives a challenge of his time. Kevin covered 311.7 thousand or 502 kilometers in six days, 11 hours and 12 minutes – his longest and most demanding today, and he did alone without a support team.
“I always loved Mallorca. I have come since I was a child, and with my family, and in fact these were my two daughters who prepared, I ran around Mallorca. So, I thought and examined and examined I love Mallorca and love to run – Why not? I began to study logistics related to participation, given that I am going to do it myself, developed a plan, route and law back to Kan Pastille in six days, ”he said.
“It is obvious that without a team this is a completely different experience, all the dynamics, everything. In addition to work The equivalent of two marathons per dayGive or take, I got up every morning at 5 in the morning. Therefore, in most areas there was no way to open for food or drink until 8:30 in the morning in the best times, depending on where I was. For example, the east coast was quite hit and missed with fewer coastal cities and resorts, and many are still closed. So during the first three hours I really was on my own.
“I have completed the competence in the long ultra-bugs of BeForle and Point-Poets, but this was a completely different challenge. All the time, so you have carefully.
“Not only in the mountains, but also along the coastline, especially in the east, this is Vray up and down, and the full height that I covered on the Mallorca Equal one and a half times EVERESTThe field and when the clock and days pass, the more difficult – your legs ultimately feel that the trunks of trees are late when you literally shuffle, at best running at best. Yes, from time to time I received underwater fanks, especially at the last stage, ”said Boti, I met people a g -knot on the way, many of which were too interested to give me the water of the pallet to help me continue to go.
“And I managed to get only this new couple of coaches that I lived, although the soles hit mytics well. But they do this, and now they hang on the wall as a souvenir, ”Kevin said. “All my nearbye have gone, so you have an inflammation in my legs. All I have is a little niching for my Achilles, but I went out for several ruins, and it does not seem too bad, so I think that I have come into a rather good state.
Meditation
“I saw and experienced parts of the major, which I never knew, and, for example, impressive. For example, at 5 a.m. it is very difficult to express in words, but the east coast is breathtaking. I certainly hits from the end of the earth to John or “groups along the M25,” I joked.
“I had my pillars or sticks with me, but I barely used them; They change your rhythm, and if they do not need, they can slow you. It was Everything about me and Mallorca And although there were moments of extreme tirade and doubt, you just allow these fears and thoughts to stay with you until they pass, and you continue.
“You must control the sun, heat and pain, but you just mentally lock and put bad things in one direction,” I added. For me, it was a great form of mediation, to be honest. The connection that I had with the major, Landscape, amazing environmentThis is what I focused on.
“I not only completed the race alone, I myself flew to the island. So it was only me and the island, and it was an amazing adventure and, seeing the Mallorca like very few people once had, I very much recommended Kevin.
“You must also accept the account in the indo. In the question of sleep. No. It makes no sense to spend energy, trying to fight them, you overestimate them, ”said Kevin.
45-year-old Kevin began managing JUS only for five years of August. “Most of my life I was in the role, I was always active, but my brother was always a runner, and when he convinced me to enter my first Hast Hast Hadstron in Madston, when I was 40 years old, I liked it. Involved in climbing, back and forth, so that front, etc., etc. UTMB MONT-BLANC – The most mythical and prestigious race in the world in the world with 171 kilometers and 10,000 meters of a positive elevation, which won a Mon-Blank through Italy, Switzerland and France. The race, like no other, it surpasses sport, and you have established yourself as a cult race, known around the world.
Emotional
“But in order to enter, this is a lottery, plus you need to accumulate glasses through Oher Races in accumulation, and the next for me-3000 Wales in June. This race is the ultra-run formula, and this is my goal, ”he emphasized. “But I’m still experiencing memories of Mallorca. I remember the last leg along the tops of the rocks in feces. It was one of the need for ideas, and when I saw it, it was, it was a reminder that there and then I could see the cathedral at a distance, and I knew that I was at home. Each step, to remind of beauty, strength, and freedom that comes from what he himself acts.
“I got home, I looked down from the plane and broke through the route that I run – every bay, every blues, every mountain pass. It hit me how far I went, in every sense. This island gave me more than just a distance – it gave me clarity, perspective and quarterly pride. Grateful for every moment. “Kevin will return to launch Mallorca UTMB in November.
