Backyard

Down in Obbola, the annual backyard ultra just started in the rain. Grateful that I get to stay indoors with the kids eating waffles, I pour up some more coffee and read about writer’s block in Finland decades ago. Rarely has existence seemed more transient.

Unsurprisingly, I had to cancel the award tickets to India over New Year’s. With a bit of luck, the trip may still happen during the autumn break of 2021 as we have domestic tickets with AirAsia from Delhi to Goa that can be rebooked for free. So right now, it seems as if the Christmas holidays will be spent entirely in and around Kiruna like last year. Hopefully, that will at least give me a lot of time to train for Tjörnarparen 100k in February and maybe retake a few lost CRs.
