At 30k, many runners had to stop and stretch due to cramps, many were toast. Not me though; I was getting tired, sure, but I had locked-in and was running better and stronger than I had expected.
And there was my wife and daughter!!! With a peeled orange and the water bottle I forgot at home. I was so happy to see them, even though they didn’t want a sweaty hug.
Onwards
Then I hit the wall...

Around 31/32k, like a switch had been flipped, all power left my legs. From one stride to the next, my strong running simply died. My stomach objected to more water or more gels. But curiously, I remained mentally strong and somewhat in control. I knew exactly what happened, what would come next, and what I needed to do. This was the moment I had trained for, the challenge I had signed up for. I had chosen this. Still, it hurt. 12/x #MastoRunDK #running #EveryRunHasAPurpose #CPH42
