Back to Globen and stockholm trail, this year the 21km course. Mainly because I wanted to challenge my competitor Svanebo from last year's trail tour. This became a really tough weekend, probably would have been better off with the 10k..
Yesterday, after the track session continued with the wedding of Janne and Linnea. Beautiful day and a great party in the night (which ended a little to late if you're competing the day after).
Also if you're going to compete in trail-running (this course is super-tough) it is necessary with a lot of hill training and running on trails/rough terrain, something I have really skimped this spring.
Felt already in the first hill that this was going to be a tough day, followed Svanebo until about 5km where I more or less hit the wall. More or less survival the rest of the run, and looking at the HR I was barely over distance-HR.. Some other guys also passed me, was on a 6th place at the top on the ski-hill on the way home but managed to dig up some powers and finish strong passing two people in the last km (or was it just that we came out on roads and hard even surface again?).
Over 5min after Svanebo today...

Hard work as pacer today. Started with 1700m for Albin in 2:59 pace, 100m easy jog before a 75s lap for Alexander another short rest before pacing Albin on his last lap for the 3000m. Short rest again before pacing the last 2k for Alex on his 5000m.

About 10min rest before next heat where I was pacing Oscar for a 3k, not as bloody pace in this one.

5k race at sollentuna GP in stockholm. Really good people running and perfect conditions. But as the last couple of weeks training have indicated the shape is pretty bad right now. Stayed with the group for the first km which was passed in 2:50, way too fast for me today. A solo race from there and mainly thought about when I was going to quit... Passed 2k in 6:00, and kept about 3:10min/k the rest of the race. Not what I hoped for but maybe wasn't som much else to expect.
