An old man's dream
I never imagined I'd say it...but I'm starting to think it'd be fun to run the Old Man's Tio Mila (aka H43-kavlen).
Jagge posted a comment on my training log, pointing to something I wrote about a race I ran on the terrain where this weekend's "Gubb" Tio Mila takes place.
That inspired me to think about how much fun it'd be to put together a team and run the race next year. A full team is ten old men (average age of 43, with a minimum of 35). This year the legs vary from 4 km to 9 km. The first few legs involve some night orienteering.
I wonder if there is enough interest to put together an Attackpoint team? I'll have to go post the idea at Attackpoint and see if anyone bites.
Any Gubbar who are reading this and thinking, "hey, I might like to join an Attackpoint team for the 2008 H43-kavlen," should let me know.
I will run the 5th leg this year (6,1-6,2 Dag, Gafflad). I ran the 1st leg some years ago and though it was quite tough. The dodderers in the Gubb-10-Mila are not fast...but tough! More on Sunday evening (CET). /Frank
