One Mile!
1.6 Km.
Weather was beautiful and perfect.

I’m not made for these short runs, so startet conservatively.
Could have gone maybe 5 sek. faster in all, but the officiel time of 6.22 is ok with me.
Came in place 21 overall and 4’th in my age group (50 – 64).
Using the carbons shoes was a mistake on the cobblestone and gravel that was actually most of the race.
HR at average 91% of MaxHR, so I could have gone harder.
But have a look at how my HR peaked shortly after the start and then settled again at a lower level.
I didn’t feel it like that, but that it climbed more steadily and peaked in the final 200m’s.
Quite a difference between actual and percieved HR.

Could well be, that my MaxHR is at 170… +2 maybe…
Came in 21 overall in 06:21.
4 in my age-group.

First time I’m doing the Kongernes 5-dages and it was a joy.
Well organized, happy people everywhere and good vibes.
