A 3hrs run/hike in the woods!
The thing about this event was to use a lot of energy during 3 hours.
The course was quite tough and the snow (sometimes really deep), the icy sections and the muddy part took a lot of energy indeed! :)
But it was fun and the weather was just perfect!
Thanx for this lovely adventure to:
Rasmus Bergström, Fredrik Öhman, Jörgen Reppling and Lars Selberg!
This is the last trail section of the Sandsjöbacka Trail race that usually takes place during the second weekend of January.

The Änggårdsbergen nature reserve offers a varied landscape featuring valleys and ridges, winding walking paths, lakes and beautiful scenery. The varied ecological environment and fauna contains several examples of nature typical of Western Sweden, such as heathland and moorland. Änggårdsbergen lies next to the Botanical Gardens and stretches from the green parks of western Gothenburg towards the nature area Sisjön, south of the city of Mölndal.

Another lovely night run with fellow runners!
I was finally able to test the Nitecore F2 charger too (great product! I'm very pleased with it!) and have posted a few images on Facebook and Instagram too. The F2 charger follows me now everywhere I go! :)
I have to learn how to use properly the Nitecore GP3 Action camera light while running. I think this is a really interesting and useful product during my night filming, still the light was not the best during my test. I updated the camera firmware too. Maybe this will help.
Still, the days here in Sweden are still quite long (the nights are just 5h) and I will start with my night runs just after the 15th august.
I will run a few night long runs just in order to train my body to that before UTMB, but nothing more.... I need to rest too sometimes! :)
There is just a month left to the BIG race! I'm really excited and hopefully I will be able to train well in order to get to the finish line safely! :)
Great night run with:
Branislav Pavic, Carlos Carsi, Markus Norström, Mattias Johansson! :)

100 Miles of Istria - Labin, Croatia, Apr 07 2017
171km trail with approx 7400mt of elev. gain, from the city of Labin over the Učka(1400m) mountain to the city of Umag through tough hills, mountain terrain and medieval old towns... A special and unique trail experience that combines trail running, tourism, cuisine, hospitality and pain.... a lot of pain! :)
The initial idea (very optimistic) was to run the whole course in 30 hours and try to suffer less that the year before and... I wanted to improve my personal best by 8h!
Well, I did this instead:
- I finished the race in 29:24:07!
- I managed to enjoy the whole course!
- I never suffered (not too much....)!
- I managed to run the last 40k and gain 5h from 2016!
- I managed to improve my final result by 8.5h! Yesssss!!! :)
Thanx to everybody! See you again! :)
A lovely morning run with friends....
