First long off-road run since Nov 17th (Iszinik). Great to be doing it again. Loads of climbing. If I hadn't gone the wrong way between the 3rd and 4th (the last) climbs the official climbing would have been over 1,400 metres in just over 24 kms. Having said it's possible the righjt route was longer as I recorded 25 kms with a significant shortening, although I did run to the start which would have been the best part of a km but, at the same time, I did go the wrong way more than once. Of course I don't know what the 4th hill would have been like but the first 3 were each harder than the previous one. and running downhill was very limited due to the slippery conditions, except for the run in back to Dömös. There was a sign saying 7.5 kms from Dobogókő to Dömös, but it was more like 9.4 kms. Basically snow everywhere with the worst being the green plus path taking me up to Dobogókő. The good thing about the walk was that it was only 500 fts. There was no food or drink, no checkpoints (better for me), and nobody at the end. We even got the badge at the beginning so I wasn't surprised the organiser wasn't at the finish, esp. given the round the houses road  from Dömös to Dobogókő. In fact it would have been better if he had walked there. For some reason I didn't start my watch from the beginning and I also didn't stop my watch whenever I stopped. I recorded 4.37, but that was about 5 mins or more after starting from the car.
