After participating in survival runs for fun the last few years and completing her role as chairlady of her club Slopend Dorien decided to join competitive runs this season. Since the early summer she focussed her training on improving her running speed. This paid off at the first race of the season with a third place.
Dorien's second race was in Ede, and we joined to support her. It was a very rainy day, but luckily not too cold. Dorien started with the first ladies group for a 8 km run, interspersed with 37 obstacles. As you can cycle along the route we could follow her closely. We again realised how though this sport is, and that many elements of Paula and Dorien's upbringing come together here: the Hash, Adventure Parc, via ferrata, climbing and general outdoor activities. Dorien finished in 4th place, and was pleased with the result. Below are a few pictures of the race.

It is really though
