Meanwhile in Gothenburg

While Anna and I were away in Italy, William came second in his chess tournament here in Gothenburg and Mälardalen University decided to hire Anna for a one-year position as a senior lecturer. This means that there is finally some clarity about the future.

After spending the morning in front of the computer, I went for a recovery jog through Skatås in the early spring weather. Ending my run at Wingårds Wok & Sushi with some fried rice, I feel that I can fully leave yesterday’s race disappointment behind and look forward to the Billy Goat Mountain Climb in Silverado, California, in four weeks’ time. 

With the official results in, I finished 201st out of 1,082 runners yesterday with a chip time of 01:43:26. Seeing that the same organizers also host an ultra-trail race, something tells me that this will not be my last visit to Stresa.
