Umåker

Whereas my previous race was fast despite a gradual climb, this one was brutal with streams to cross, rocks to climb and moors to wade through. Fortunately, I was accompanied by runner number 198 who made full use of all four paws. Knowing that I would get soaked, I decided to take my old worn-out Asics shoes that I can now throw away with good conscience. However, with Stockholm Marathon only two weeks away, not having appropriate trail shoes meant that I had to take it really slow downhill in order not to get hurt. Despite doing so, I did fall once, but luckily nothing serious. So, in the end, all fine and I got to see the last snow melting away in the forest.
