I have VERY stiff legs today. So I thought that perhaps a recovery ride could help 😇😆

Result: 17h47m18s Position: 21 of 162 (123 Finishers, 32 DNF, 7 DNS). Related: 17 of 93 Males. 23 min faster than last year 🥳🚀 . But not super pretty - bonked hard. This year’s theme: a lot of nasty rain 🌧️ 😒. However, the race itself was as last year SUPERB. For a million reasons. I would like to direct a huge thanks to the aid station volunteers and in particularly the amazing ones at 24 (which is km122) 👏🏻☕️🙏🏻. They took really good care of me when I needed it the most (helped with clothing, food, blankets and far beyond what I could expect) - a heart felt big thanks 🙏🏻☺️. The weather was ok until late afternoon/ early evening. Then it started to rain. In periods quite a lot. And that can cool you down if your effort level cannot keep you warm. Hence my visit to aid station 24 🤣. Pleasant surprise: my good colleague Andreas surprised me by standing outside Jesperhus in the middle of the night to take a few photos. That was great fun - thank you so much Andreas 🙏🏻☺️☺️ Performance: I did better than last year despite a few long stops. But probably due to the break at 24. The few minutes of sitting in a chair and also drinking a cup of coffee made wonders. A complete reset (almost) 👍🏼😎☕️ ⛰️ Salgerhøj (89 m) | 🌐 summitbag.com
