Glasgow Edinburgh Double Marathon

... or a little more. In the end it was 90k and a TOUGH race. As Haile one day said: "There are good days for a race and there are days which are not..." Well, that was not one of my best. It was beautiful weather, the racers was a relatively small group but all VERY nice guys and it was great organized. The "No 1" coach was there, and hence everything was well. After the first 30 k I got a blister and probably because of that I favoured one leg which caused pain in my left knee and did not stop till the end. But in the end we did it!. Met nice people on the way, on the checkpoints were friends waiting for me which made me moving with a BIG smile, crossing the finish line. Thanks to everyone who gave me that great day!
