24.24K Trail Run

#31

It was time to increase the distance and decided to run from Christinehof to Vitemölla. I thought that it would be 2.5K extra but turned out it was 5K.

It looked like it would be a warm day so I decided to put on linnen and running skirt. Fill up the bladder with water and also have 250ml tailwind tropical breeze with coffeine with me and had some candy left.

On my way to Christinehof I realized I had forgotten my pulse watch at the summer cottage but decided to use a app instead. Thinking about Runkeeper but then I realized that the best would be to use Movescount to get the distance registered and have my apple watch on.

Got out of the door a bit late, said that it would take 3h.

Weird not to have a pulse watch to look at so I was not sure about the pace, felt that I had a fast pace in the beginning but the body fixed it later.

It was chilly in the beginning which was nice. At approximately 4K this hill that I decided to run up all the way last week I also ran up all the way this week, felt good.

Then there is a flatter longer hill that I have to walk up on but on the flat part before it feels like it is uphill I managed to run longer there this time.

Then after Verkeån there is a steep short hill that I til today have walked up on but today I ran up on it all the way so two hills now.

I took a break at a rest stop, went to the toilet and had planned to wet my face with cold water because it had started to get warmer but only hot water got out from the basin.

It looked like I would make it in 3h but when it was 3K left to Haväng my right knee started to protest so I was forced to walk more than I had planned.

 

 

When I got to Haväng on my way to Vitemölla where I thought it would be 2.5K left it got very warm, I was boiling and had to get down to the water and wet my whole hair and pace.

Even if it was hot I was glad I got out and run this trail run. Increased the distance and will give it a new try next weekend.

 

 

 

 

 

Finally I reached the final destination, exhausted, for the first time I took off my socks, pulse belt and shoes, watch and went into the water.

 

I love to drink a cold beer after a long run and especially when it it has been warm. Wille had filled a 1 liter bottle of water and I drank halft of it in one zip after I have finished.

And finally my seafood and fish burger at Bures in Kivik
