25.2K Trail Run

#34

Since it was going to be a warm Saturday I had decided that the car would leave at the latest 8 am.

Got up 15 min earlier, started with brushing my teeth, clean my face and put water in the water bladder and sports drink in the soft flask before I ate breakfast.

Turned out to be a good thing, had time to stretch longer and we wer actually out of the door before 8 am 🙂

This time I did not forget to put on my pulse watch.

Actually it was a bit colder when I started my run and was hoping it wouldn’t get too hot.

Got on orange marker, everything was fine til I got out on a meadow where I realized it was cows there, had not been any animals there before. I thought I would be just fine til they started to move towards me, oh no. I told them that I am just going to pass you and continue my run and all of a sudden they ran down the meadow and I thought that they were scared of me and thought that they would stay where they were but now they got back, gave me the evil eye. It was long way til I would get to the other side, this did not feel good so I backed back watching them and when I thought that I had a distance that was close enough to the stair I ran fast and got back on the other side of the wall.

Text message Wille and informed me that it would take a bit longer because of the cow attack and have to run back on yellow to get ahead of the meadow.

When I got on yellow I saw cows on the right and thought oh no, no more cow attacks but they stayed where they were 🙂

The first half of the run was fine. When I got to the rest room at the rest area and finally it was cold water so I could wet my face the regular way.

Felt that it started to get warm.

So the last 6K to Haväng I wet my face 4-5 times.

Friendly cows by the way.

When I started the run between Haväng and Vitemölle I got down to the water to wet my face and hair to cool off, felt SO good.

When I ran between Haväng and Vitemölla I had a good pace but had to stop from time to time and walk but finally I got to the finish point and once again stepped into the water with my clothes on. Before that Wille had brought cold water in the car and I drank most of it.

Then a lovely lunch at Ingelsta Kalkon
