Gothenbourg Half Marathon, originally uploaded by lars och linda.

53204 Lars Backlund started 15.28, 5km 32:51, 10km 1:08:11, 15km 1:49:54, goal 3:03:27 Min per km:08:44

At around 17 km I got so bad cramps I couldnt walk properly so I had to limp (really limp, I couldn’t even walk, new experience for me) last 4km. As you can see the last 6 km took 1h 15min:/ Before that I thought I was doing decently considering I felt like shit (I had wild fantasies about everything deep fried) and thought I would be able to come in at below 2h 30min.

But I learned something today.. I need to drink ALOT more before and that I also need to eat more, which I avoided bcoz I didnt want acid reflexes. I burned around 3000 kcal which you can believe I made up for when I got back to Lindas awesome cousins who had a small feast prepared. All in all I think I might have to run again someday just to beat this god awful time, but we’ll see, honestly I prefer running in Stöde on lonely roads in cool summer evenings. Linda did a great job I think who finisher at 2:45 with a bathroom break included. Neither me or Linda has run more than a handful of times either before this.
