Kongernes 5-dages 2024, Stage 3 – Frederik V

Frederiksværk Forests.

7.9K with 285m climbs.
Trust me, the hills are harder than the figures tell!

Perfectly organized again.
We where extremely lucky with the weather, as it had been a hell-shower with thunder and lightening just half an hour before race-start.
Looooots of elevation on this stage. Really a challenging route.
Sadly some route-flags had been moved by some retards at around 6.5K, so I lost around 1.5 minutes.
It meant nothing in the overall ranking.
I tried to do the run slightly conservatively, but only succeded in doing it on a few ocasions and I stayed away from hunting after the runners in front of me.
I could have ruined myself more than I actually did.
Meeting the same runners every day like this is really nice and adds to a good atmosphere.

22 overall in 46:04.
3 in my age-group.
