So this morning I took the train up to H\u00f6\u00f6r where \u00c5ke picked me up at the train station and we drove to Lars &#8221;Tj\u00f6rnarparen&#8221; and Robert and Conny would join us too.<\/p>\n<p>On the train I had time go through some songs for the choir&#8217;s 25 anniversary concert next week.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gabbychallenge.glundh.se\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/hoor_ultra_1_141122.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1746\" src=\"http:\/\/gabbychallenge.glundh.se\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/hoor_ultra_1_141122-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"hoor_ultra_1_141122\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In Stehag we had to get off the train and take a bus to H\u00f6\u00f6r and also on the bus I had time to go through more songs.

I had not been part of the discussion and talked with Robert who informed that the run would be longer than 40K, first I did not believe him and shouted to Lars, are we going to run 45K, are you serious????? There was a miscalculation and I found out that yes it will be 45K. Good thing with this was that I would get the experience what would happen on the last 10K. I also realized that I would become a ultra runner which was big for me \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>The last 5K was really tough, I got the tip to get everything that I got left to put in my system because my legs was VERY TIRED so the second Snickers was eaten, all my disgusting Enervit orange flavor sports drink. I gave \u00c5ke my bag with &#8221;J\u00e4garsnus&#8221; (raisings, peanuts and chocolate) because he looked beaten and he got the energy back.<\/p>\n<p>The last 1.8K was torture and I had to take out &#8221;pannbenen&#8221; (= bull by its horn)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gabbychallenge.glundh.se\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/hoor_ultra_11_141122.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1756\" src=\"http:\/\/gabbychallenge.glundh.se\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/hoor_ultra_11_141122-300x300.png\" alt=\"hoor_ultra_11_141122\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>No one of us had been running longer than a marathon before so after this run we all became ultra runners :-). I am glad for the total time in those woods. We all agreed that we all will run the last 5K in December (finish the ultra race), the speed will definately be slower and the time that I think I will finish with seems to be quite accurate.<\/p>\n<p>The company was great today and I was glad to hear that Lars had never felt so fresh, last weekend most of the &#8221;snabbfotarna&#8221; (=fast footers) was tired when they increased the speed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gabbychallenge.glundh.se\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/hoor_ultra_group_after_12.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1757\" src=\"http:\/\/gabbychallenge.glundh.se\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/hoor_ultra_group_after_12-300x300.png\" alt=\"hoor_ultra_group_after_12\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Total distance: 45K , total time: 5.53.15 h, average speed: 8.55 min\/k, max speed: 5.40 min\/k<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I wanted to have &#8221;dress&#8221; rehearsal before my first ultra race in December.
