Went to Kongsberg today and was running the 'høstløpet', and managed to get my first victory today. It must be said that the class was H17C (MC) which is a beginnersclass for adults. So the route is not very difficult or very long. It was 3.3 km, but the cource was a little bit harder than other races from earlier this year. The GPS profile is shown below. I was running almost flawless to the 3rd controll, which I was turning a little too early. Actually I was running straigth against the control, but was uncertain and took a little round before I was running further and into the control. From there the rest was Ok, and I was 3 min. ahead of nbr 2. Results 

More worse is that I had told my friends that I would go for the H40 (M40) class when I wond my first Mc race. I did'nt count for that to happen so soon, so I not shur if I will hold that promise. I not ready yet.
An another nice thin was that Silje (13) ended as nbr 6 in her class and se a personal best speed at 11.45 min/km. That is aprox 1-2 min. better that before, so she had a good day today

Sander (10) had also the best time in his class, but there where only 2 starters. His time was 25.02 at 2.8 km and that is quite faster that 10 min/km, so he had also a very good race.

  1. Perhaps you could move up a class for the rest of this season?!

    1. I'll just hope they have forgotten the stupid promise .... But I'm tempted to give it a try. Maybe the H17AK is a compromise. If I go to the H40 I will compete with Vidar from my club that has been running for 35 years... I have just 1 year for my own ( and 1 year of shadowing my kids ...)

    2. My first try is a rally tough one : www.blodslitet.no, I will run the H-ÅPEN, 8.7 km A-course, some upgrade from 3.5 km C-course .... And I will compete in the same class as the guys that 'forced' me info the A-level.

      I really want to show them my back, so I have been running 3 times/week for a period to try to build some more speed, so keep your fingers crossed for me this saturday ...

      1. You've picked a good one to get started on! Good luck...

        1. Thanks.

          BTW, are you going to Hamburg next week ? I'm going and looking forward to get some WebSphere updates ....

          1. No - I'm not going to Hamburg as I wasn't sure whether I'd still be waiting for a baby!
