We beat the heat in Sesimbra Trail

Sesimbra Trail – where the mountains meet the sea

A trail run in June? Well, as I love Sesimbra, I could not say “no”. I love Sesimbra, for the sea, the mountains, the seafood, the nice alleys, everything! I had already raced in the Serra da Arrábida, but the Sesimbra Trail would be my first race with a start and finish in Sesimbra.

The Sesimbra Trail of 2019 had three races: 43 km, 22 km and 15 km running or walking. We gathered a group of 22Ks: Francisco, Christiaan, Diogo, Luis and me. We usually train together every Monday around the hills of Lisbon’s city center. Now it was time to get dirty!

Welcome to Sesimbra!

A day of great heat was expected, so we prepared with plenty of sunscreen, caps and water. However, the heat was so strong, that it was simply impossible to “fight” against it. Especially me, I suffered quite a lot.

From the moment of the registration, you could immediately feel it was a well-organized race by O Mundo da Corrida. The BIB number pick-up and check-in, on the same day as the race, flowed perfectly. The starting and finishing zone of the three distances was in the iconic Praça da California, with its tropical palm trees and almost on the beach. The atmosphere was fantastic! Although we were a “team” of 5, we decided to each go at their pace.

The start is flat and along the beach

For me, 700m D + and over 30ºC would be challenging. The first climb caused a brief  “traffic jam” that served as an opportunity for the immense amount of photos we took in that incredible landscape.

Until the second climb, I felt good. I drank water regularly and wet my cap. So, despite the few shadowed trails Arrábida’s vegetation provided, I could control my temperature. However, as soon as I reached the ascent to the Castle, I broke. I thought several times about sitting down, but then I resisted, afraid I would not be able to get up again. At the top, upon arriving at the castle, one member of the organization helped me control my breathing and wet my cap. I was able to recover a bit and gain strength, because “now it was going to be easier.”

You can take incredible pictures!

From the Castle (km 13) to the top of the last ascent (km 18), I had a tough time. Fortunately, the spirit of the trail, with super empathic people, was pushing me and giving me strength. Of course, every time I saw the sea, I also got a boost of energy! From km 18, it was 4 km downhill. Then, I started to feel the joy of running again. Yes, I do like this. Even with 30 degrees! You can see my Strava here.

The famous Castle of Sesimbra

The mountains, the sea, the fish and the radiant sun of Sesimbra create a picturesque scenery that is unique and make this race well worth it. The organization was flawless with improvised water points and a “party” at the finish line. And is there be anything better than a swim in Sesimbra beach after some hours in the mountain?

That moment crossing the finish line

See you next year, Sesimbra!

One other thing I would like to talk about is that there are numerous games in the marketplace designed specifically for preschool age little ones.

This helps to keep children engaged without having a sensation like they are learning. Thanks

  32. Hello, Neat post. There’s a problem together with your web site in web explorer, may test this? IE still is the market chief and a good component to folks will leave out your excellent writing due to this problem.

  33. I’d also like to state that most people who find themselves with out health insurance can be students, self-employed and those that are out of work. More than half of those uninsured are really under the age of Thirty-five. They do not feel they are requiring health insurance since they’re young in addition to healthy. Their own income is frequently spent on houses, food, as well as entertainment. A lot of people that do represent the working class either entire or part time are not made available insurance by their jobs so they go without owing to the rising tariff of health insurance in the United States. Thanks for the strategies you talk about through this blog.

  34. Hello there, just became alert to your weblog via Google, and found that it is truly informative. I am going to be careful for brussels. I will appreciate in the event you continue this in future. A lot of folks will be benefited from your writing. Cheers!

  35. Heya i am for the first time here. I found this board and I find It really useful & it helped me out a lot. I hope to give something back and help others like you helped me.

  36. Nearly all of what you assert is supprisingly appropriate and that makes me ponder the reason why I hadn’t looked at this with this light before. Your piece really did switch the light on for me as far as this particular topic goes. Nonetheless at this time there is 1 issue I am not really too cozy with so while I attempt to reconcile that with the actual central theme of your point, let me see just what the rest of your readers have to point out.Nicely done.

  37. One thing I’ve noticed is the fact there are plenty of misconceptions regarding the banks intentions whenever talking about foreclosed. One delusion in particular is the fact the bank wants your house. The lender wants your hard earned money, not the house. They want the bucks they gave you having interest. Keeping away from the bank will draw a new foreclosed realization. Thanks for your publication.

  38. Thanks for your short article. I would also love to say that the health insurance agent also works for the benefit of the actual coordinators of the group insurance coverage. The health insurance professional is given a summary of benefits looked for by individuals or a group coordinator. Such a broker will is hunt for individuals or perhaps coordinators which in turn best fit those requirements. Then he shows his referrals and if both parties agree, this broker formulates a binding agreement between the 2 parties.

  39. I’m very happy to read this. This is the type of manual that needs to be given and not the random misinformation that’s at the other blogs. Appreciate your sharing this best doc.
