Another 5k road race for the Norwegians today (I was there :-)
Quote | Reply
Blummenfelt, Iden and Stornes drove over from Bergen to Oslo to take part in Perseløpet.

This is a low key running event organized by just one person. He does it because he love the sport.
Today's race was a 5k. The course is fast, but you can get some headwind. Today was one of those days.

The event was streamed live on Norway's largest TV station's web page (think NBC).

The first kilometre was most likely too fast for a stellar time. 2.40 is too quick.
Blummenfelt won in 13.58. Stornes got 13.59 and Iden 14.02

XC-skiing world champion Christer Holund ran in 14.51.

Before the 5k race it was a half marathon.
With no support from the organizer I gave out water to my brother. He ran in 1.17.30 at the age of 50. (yes I am proud of him).

good job by the boys, but i'm more impressed by your brother. 1:17 at any age is cookin', but at 50 it's utestĂĄende.

I was also support for a runner that has turned 60. He ran the half marathon in 1.23. But he said it is harder to push himself after he had the Corona virus in March. I feel fat and slow :-)
