City Cup
Boris ran Stockholm City Cup earlier today. Reading his training log inspired me to check out the Stockholm City Cup web page. Stockholm City Cup is a series of sprint/park races in the city. The series seems to have started back in 1997. They get a lot of people. Boris ran the open men's category and was one of 219 official finishers in that class.
I poked around the web page (click "historik" then "tidigare hemsidor" then poke around on some of the old pages to find lots of maps). I came across the map below of the old part of Stockholm.
I wonder if Aspleaf has ever run a Stockholm City Cup race?
I´m sad to say that the answer is, NO. I suppose people might get the feeling I hate sprint but that is not the case. I just prefer classic orienteering in the forest. Or I prefered. Right now I just bitch about everything. If I had legs that could run I would probably run SCC. Come to think of it my "old-man-calfs"(?) (gubbvader) showed up about the same time as SCC started 1997.
