Copenhagen Marathon

I’ve been training for this on and off for almost a year and its been a long journey. I ran most of the marathon with my training partner from the dormitory until he decided to leave me behind at 33 km .
Here we are after 12 km still very pleased with the situation.

12 km just outside GAHK

Beneath we are at about 32 km with Sortedams Sø in the background. As can be seen from the photo it had rained quite a lot but from here on the weather improved. We stopped beside the lake for a break and took a good long piss. I’ve never felt better in my entire life.

A short while later I really started to succumb to my exhaustion and I really just pushed myself to run as far as at all possible before I could slow down to a walk. I knew that if I stopped to soon I would never get to the end. At 39 km I stopped at the last water depot and I felt extremely dizzy. I walked 2 km and managed to increase the pace to a slow run for the final km. Thanks to the supporters on the side! I finished at 4:15 – here are my stats (open with Garmin Training Center)
Thanks to all the familiar faces along the way they really helped me on!

Next stop 55 km Laugavegur Ultra Marathon, Iceland

Vinhejk 5.0

Vinhejk was a blast!
A short description of the route: We started at Husum st., walked along Vestvolden to Vestskoven and ran up an old dump turned into a hill = Herstedhøje!

After a short rest we rolled down the hill and continued towards Ballerup and Pederstrup. We walked along some rail tracks and through some allotments and made our way to the old Fuglehavehus site.
Somewhere along the route we happened upon some unknowing sheep and had a lot of fun with them. Silly animals. Also worth mentioning: we bathed in a small lake and made twistbread which was a big success.

I drank about 2.5 L of red wine and have a couple of blanks in my memory.
Here are some more photos
I’ve also bought the domain vinhejk.dk and expect to make some kind of portal for the community .
Look forward to Vinhejk 6.0
