Scratch that. She is in:
She looks as good as after 20 hours.
I didn't think it was possible to just jump into a 100 miler and finish, so I am more than impressed. First and only woman. Only second woman to ever finish this notoriously difficult race. I am so proud!
I ran my own race today. In beautiful weather, the Firkløvermarathon was run here in Næstved, on our local trails. I was actually hoping for a fast time, loosely aiming for 1:16 to 1:18. The legs felt ok, but the time was 1:22. The course is known to be long, but it still doesn't translate to less than a 1:20. The second-place guy ran a 1:29 and was hoping for a 1:20, so maybe the course was tougher than we thought. There were constant turns and little, so one had to accelerate back up to speed very frequently.
A win is a win, and there were many friends there running and wathcing. Still, the time is disappointing.

That was an epic first 100! I keep saying that you're either born to run those distances or you're not (and there's nothing you can do if, like me, you're not, but not do them) and she's a natural. It's just a shame that there's not time to make this year's 24 hour team; I think she's May-Britt's successor.
Tillykke med din sejr! Og tillykke med din kone - hun er da for sej og en stor inspiration for mig :)
