Finished my first cross country race Tjur Ruset or the bull run. And a crazy one it was … Race going through swamps, forests trails  one person wide, channels full  of water, tires crawling under fences …. The distance was 10 km and the time was 62:50. My legs hurt as hell, but it was worth it. I will be back next year.

Been running my first official 10 km race last Sunday. It ended up pretty good I guess with a time of 46:02 even though I was aiming for under 45, but I was running with pain in both my feet from this accident. Cant seem to get rid of that pain. Maybe all this running isnt the best thing for sore feet….

I had an amazing time in first 5 km ( amazing for that is  icon biggrin Hässelby Loppet ) of 21.50 but after that i hit the wall and had problems dragging myself over the finish line.

Now waiting for the last race of the season a 10 km cross-country (through forest and water and snow) called the Bull Run. Since I have never ran anything like that I will be just happy to finish without more injuries icon smile Hässelby Loppet

On the kitesurfing front not much happening still waiting for my board which should have been here by now but its stuck in some fucking storage I guess …. so pissed…. and its been snowing twice already here in Stockholm so not really sure how much more kitesurfing sessions there will be this season. Well there is still snowkiteing season ahead….

Is the distance i ran this Saturday!

1:45:49 is the time for it!

15 minutes off the expected time of 1:59:59.

First time ever I ran 21 kilometres so I was quite nervous if all will be good. I was really close not to run the Stockholm marathon at all since I missed the time to pick up numbers and chip for an hour and a half icon biggrin 21098 .

It started really good and i did first 5 km in 0.23.35 so was the second 5 km 0.24.43. Thats when I realised i could actually make the 1:45 total time since I passed the pacemaker for that time in the second kilometre and he was nowhere in sight. For the first 10 kilometres I was passing almost everyone in front of me, and the only problem I had was that I was in desperate need to take a piss icon biggrin 21098 .
Eventually I had to stop on 12th kilometre, and that cost me another 1 minute in the 5 kilometre time which dropped to 0.25.33.

In the 16th kilometre the first big crisis started. First the 1:45 pacemaker passed me, and there was no way fro me to follow him. But on the 19th kilometre I realised i could still make 1:45 i was almost sprinting the last 2 kilometres and barely make it in 1:45 margin. And yeah even though there was a crisis in the last 5 kilometres the time wasnt that bad 0.26.13.

Seeing the finish line was one of the happiest moments ever, knowing this is all behind me now.

I finished 2 643rd out of 8 282 runners.

And I did realise that I have really sensitive nipples icon biggrin 21098 .
