Brutal trail/road race in Lommedalen. Ran it last year in 1:26:09 and was hoping for a slightly faster time. Was behind schedule by 18s already after 14 minutes, so I knew it would be tough.
Pulled away from a small pack with anothet guy going up the big hill after 6 k. Good flow and speed, but then I got completely parked on the downhill and two more guys passed me. Was already 1:30 behind schedule at this point and was a bit less motivated to push it hard. Lost another 1:20 on the last 5 k.
The course was 300 m longer with much soggier trails than last year, so the time was probably not too bad. Mathias just under 1:31. 6th place.
Slight pain in my left food right off the start. Might be the new inov8 shoes.
