1991: A long race on an old map
I spent a few minutes looking at maps today and came across a course I ran in 1991. At the end of this course, I was as tired as I've ever been.
The race was on new years eve in Leksand. The course measured about 16.5 km (the map is 1:50,000) and there was enough snow on the ground to make running a chore.
The race finished at the O' club's clubhouse (I'm guessing it was Leksands OK). I remember sitting at a table to inhale a bowl of hot oatmeal and feeling so incredibly tired that I got off the chair, curled up on the wood floor, and fell asleep. Later that day, I crawled into bed to take a nap...I woke up 14+ hours later. I was tired. Really tired.
