The one and only Tavelsjöleden

 

After a few failed attempts, Elin and I finally managed to run all of Tavelsjöleden from Väven in downtown Umeå to the endpoint near Selet. With overcast skies and the temperature around 16 degrees, conditions could not have been better. Still, as always, water was a challenge on Tavelsjöleden with only one publicly available water tap at Hamptjärnstugan but, thanks to the weather, we managed to make it all the way with two Salomon 0.5 litre flasks each. For nutrition, I had a couple of Maurten 100 Caf gels which was maybe a bit too few, but I felt good throughout the run with no headache or nausea, all a far cry from last weekend on Öland.

In total, we ran 50 km as we had to backtrack to Tavelsjö to catch the bus to Umeå. Now all I have to do is to drink a lot of water and register our run with the FKT website.
