(Ursvik Ultra 10) Pardon me? You mean we're not in December? Cause it sure looks like it!
It's the season Grand Opening!! For this first race of the season, I registered for a 75kms race by night in Stockholm, the Ursvik Ultra. I deemed it was a reasonable distance for a season (early) start and with almost no altitude change since I would not have had trained by then. I usually don't like when it is too short or too flat because it then goes way too fast for me but I did not really have many other choices. Moreover, for the first time, I have not entirely made the decision to do it on my own, I was advised to do it, given that it would be very good for a first and especially for my August Holy Grail, THE race of my season. Let us see if it changes anything on the finish line or not!! D-7, troubles starts.

I therefore spent my week on the Weather Channel to spy on upcomin
