Heat ≠ Rasmus

Although 6-7 degrees cooler than in 2019, the summer heat definitely got me again this afternoon as I raced Malkars 21k through the streets of Kalmar. Despite massive support along the course from Eddie, my parents and friends, I failed miserably at setting a new PR. While I am still waiting for the official chip time, Strava registered a time of 1 hour and 43 minutes or about eight minutes slower than my current half marathon PR. In my defence, I should say that I at least gave it all I had with an average heart rate of 171. Despite this, my hopes of running sub 1:30 faded already three kilometres into the race as my body simply could not dissipate the heat.
