28.3K Trail Run

#40

It was time to increase the distance today to approximately 30K which meant that I would add the foot path where there is a lot of heather.

With this heat that have hit Sweden I was not sure if I would experience the very purple color of there but I would run there at least.

When I opened the door in the morning it was cooler 🙂

On our ride to Christinehof I realized I had forgotten my pulse watch so we had to return back and I also could bring my hair brush to my back pack with  my chaning clothes afterwards.

It was very enjoyabe starting this run because it was cooler, it was a breeze.

It has been so WARM lately.

When I got to the meadow where I had experienced these hostile cows they were there but to the right and stayed there, I realized I ran so much faster over this meadow, I wonder why.

Did not experience any knee issue during the first part.

Passed some other runners and got a comment, oh another long distance runner 🙂

A lot of trekkers and on my way to Verkeån I heard someone whistling, I was so glad because otherwise I would not have heard this biker so I moved to the right.

 

On the meadow I did not see the very purple, more brown plants due to the heat.

At the end of this path I turn to the left and get on a narrow path but realized that they had put on a fence and let the path to the right but I still saw the blue marking on the other side of the fence ????? How would I get over, I could not get over the fence in the middle because it is a electrical fence but at the end it was a old stair, I was wondering if the steps would fall but they did 🙂

 

On the next meadow I had a close experience with some horses, one walked towards me and another horse, one of them started to press me 🙂

And another horse came up from a hill, they started to follow me but then they stopped.

Close to Haväng the heat came and I had a minor issue with my right knee.

I wet my hair and drank water and got finally to Haväng and had only approximately 5K left to the final destination.

Between Haväng and Vitemölla I try to get down to the water and wet my hair but today it was waves so it was tough wetting my hair, I gave up.

So nice to get to the final destination but my ride was not there with the cold water but saw that he was close, finally he showed up and I got my water and drank almost 1 liter before it was time for the mandatory and necessary swim in the water. Went in the water with my running gear.

I was surfing, the waves moved me forward.
