Notes
My first ever DNF. Don't even want to categorize it as a race lest the dodgy distance appear.
Was late-ish for the race so started very far back and that accounts for the 6 minute pace for the first 1km. I was struggling for pace all the way around though and although I probably would have been sub-hour it wouldn't have been by much. Not great fitness-wise then. And the weather was not that warm either.
Albeit the watch was running slow about 500m slow. But heard rumour after that the course wasn't properly measured anyway, so who knows which is correct.
However, just after the 6km sign and a drinks break - the course veered off into the forest of Djurgården and the path was very uneven with rocks strewn all over. Running was limited to 2 abreast and had some relatively slow women in front of me and wanted to over take to keep sub-hour on course. I knew that the path was bad and ran with my head down scanning the path - but it was not enough and one stumble later and I had hurt my ankle (the right one - the one I hurt before) and my race was over.
Although I had to hobble 2km back to the finish and then wait for 40mins on Liisa finishing :(
