I hope to do this again . It was my first attempt at a marathon distance and I want another go. It was small and local , we were taken by bus to the start and the course which was 100% trail went through forest before picking up the River Neris which we followed as it wound its way towards Vilnius . There were only two water stations at 14km and 27km so it was important to carry extra water . No other kit was needed as the trail was well marked . Despite this I still managed to take a wrong turn , my fault due to lack of experience , head down I carried straight on missing clear markers . My strava  which shows a moving time of 6hr 4 mins and a distance of 45.6 km at 8 min km makes better reading than the official results . I was totally knackered at the end and was struggling but at no time did I feel like quitting and look back on it now as a big achievement . I found the trail harder than running on the road but the whole thing had a sense of adventure . Hats off to the guys doing the 82km route who passed me offering encouragement .
