Event: St. Eriksloppet
 

St Eriksloppet Half Marathon 73.50, 20th place. Far out! This was a lot tougher than i had imagined. I started a bit quickly which probably didnt help but in the 2nd half my legs really got sore from the road running and even though i felt like i had energy i just couldnt run any quicker. The split times where pretty up and down and this is mainly due to where the hills were. I took a gel at about 14k and thats why that plit was a bit slower since i slowed down to make sure i got a proper drink. The last hill up over sodermalm between 17k and 19k was a real killer but at least it was downhill and flat after that. Anyway i was reasonably happy with this effort esp since i didnt really do any special training for it. I sure am not looking forward to the marathon now though - i will be doing a fair bit of road running in the lead up thats for sure.

Warming up for the half. I didnt run a step of warm down i felt that crap in the guts afterwards. The 20min ride back from the station to our place felt like cotter urriarra but it must have been worse for Al who had a spew on the train and then another one onto the tracks at the station - it was a tough day.
