64 000 registered runners and more than 200 000 spectators!
The distance of the course is 21,097.5 meters, a half marathon. The course is certified by an authorized IAAF course measurer.
I will start in the TEAM Silver Group:
As you know I did't really prepare myself for this race. My main focus for this season was the Istria 100 Miles 110km race. Still, I had less than a month to prepare myself for this race. It's a 21km fast race. I'm not relly fast... I prepared my body for endurace racing.... not speedy ones... :)
Still, I think that my training will be more than OK to complete this race and set my new 21k PR! I really hope to be able to improve the last year's: 2h and 12 min. I hope to crush that one by 15 minutes! We'll see...
There are plenty of reasons and factors that will define the race. One is the heat!
If you consider the fact that I trained for half a year in chilly and wet conditions and that during the race pretty much evertyhing can and usually does change.... well, the heat is something to consider! :)
Well.... the beginning of the racing event I'll open with the STAFETTVARVET MAY 20TH 2015 a relay race called StafettVarvet.
Every team member runs 4 km – time is taken on the entire team and not on the individual runner. After the race every team gets a food package to enjoy together in the sun....
This is to consider to be a fine boost before the main event the 23rd may!
Before the race, the day before I have to cheer my wife racing the StaffetVarvet, and the 24th my kids racing the MiniVarvet and the LillaVarvet! Wow.... what a family! LIKE! :)
