Running (Icebug Experience Day 3!) 2:20:07 [3] 19.92 km (7:02 / km) +546m 6:11 / km
The final day! 21km, which to us was 'only four park runs with the worlds shortest warm down!'. The shortest but also the hilliest, and i woke up a bit in the night because of my back so I was preeeeetty nervous how it would go. Started off with the biggest hill of the three days which was super fun to climb because it was all rock but pretty hard work. I was thankful for the downhill after because it let my calves settle a little bit but Mary's tendons flared up from the slope, so from about 4-8km I think she was being a champ to keep running in a bit of an uncomfortable state. I could tell when she started feeling good again though because the pace picked up heaps from then to the finish, and it ended up going super quick which was really surprising and really nice! The excitement of crossing the finish line and knowing we'd both just run a tonne further than ever before was pretty bloody awesome. And I've pulled up pretty alright (for now at least) apart from my knee and a bit of a bad blister on my heel. I may have to be the only person walking around Göteborg in thongs for a week or so... And Thankyou Josh and Malin for the birthday gift in my letterbox because I got up my stairs so much quicker than I thought I would so I could see what it was ;)
All in all, honestly one of the greatest experiences ever. The scenery was so so so nice and terrain and trails were awesome. Plus the food was fantastic, and Mary was the greatest to enjoy it all with :)
