17K Trail Run

#37 – 50 runs in 100 days – Keep Running edition

Nov 5th I will run the race Dödens Zon (The Death Zone) on Kullaberg, approximately 22K trail run that is very different from the other trail races I am participating in. So today it was time for the last trail run before the race and what would be better than running the route.

3 other Coach K Runners that I had not run with me before wanted to join me plus Irma the dog 🙂

3 of us and the dog drove in one car and then the fourth runner would drive alone.

When we got to Mölle harbour it was very windy and cold. We waited for the fourth person but he never showed up so we were 3 runners and a dog who started running. After some k’s I had to take off my windstopper and gloves, the first k’s just goes up and up.

I could follow the route but the distance did not work this time either, I just need to get to the bottom with this.

After about 9K the route turns into a tricky narrow path into the woods and down to the coast. I had asked one of the runners to import the route just in case I would loose the route which happenend on my last trail run so there we were not in an agreement how to run, so we got off track but something felt not right so I stopped and turned back, shouted on the rest but they didn’t hear me so we got separated but since Fredrik had the route I thought that they would probably run back so I found the narrow path and ran on my own down to the coast

Text messaged Fredrik and asked if they had done a detour and got back yes but that they were close. Put my windstopper back on and gloves so I didn’t get cold while I was waiting for them.

After a while I got the message that they were 200m in front of me of the route and I was wondering which way did they go 🙂

This part is just stone stone stone so no running, loose stones, I was wondering how Irma would make it but she was doing just fine.

After a while you get to Nimis and then a steep uphill. Irma was struggling a bit.

Back to running again and then down a steep path to the coast again and then up Håkullen which is tougher than Nimis. You are basically crawling up and Irma the poor the dog got scared, she didn’t have anything to hold on to and refused to go up any furhter, Amanda decided to head back and up the other part and Fredrik and I continued on our own.

We cut the route a bit to get back to time Amanda so we probably ran around 17K

Then we got back to Mölle and I had wanted to eat this famous shrimp toast
