Running 17:01 [5] 5.0 km (3:24 / km)
shoes: Mizuno Ronin
Decided on a whim to run blodomloppet. Signed up on the spot for the 5k, then realised that it was a bit dumb, since we were running the same course as the 10k (2 laps) and only starting 45mins afterwards.
Felt a bit tired warming up and felt something in my throat. Ran behind Johan Levin for the first 2k but then dropped off. Struggled after that, no energy it seemed. The hill at around 4k was really tough, lost a lot there.
Had to swerve around people most of the way. It wasn't too bad until the last few hundred meters where I had to stop a few times.
Didn't have my watch and thought that I'd probably run 17:30 or so at the finish. Was happy to see the time later that evening. I think the shape is still there and that a much better race is in store under different circumstances. Feeling sick now, which explains the feeling during the race.
