Stardate 34571.1
Its raining…
Getting kicked out of hotell in 20 minutes, still 8.5 hours still the half-mary starts.
(looking out window)…still raining.
Where are you?
I’m in Norway, Tromsø to be exact.
Above the arctic circle. I think its around the 70th parallel. Temperature is ok, I would say around 15 celsius. The rain has stopped and the forecast is looking promising.
Almost picked up a pair of Asics Noosa Tri shoes, awesome colors!!! But the didn’t have my size.
There are quite a few people here. Around 3000 for the entire event (Marathon, Half, 10k, 5k, Inline and a kids race).
The scenery is very picturesque, I of course didn’t bring a camera cause I live 100 miles from here. For more info check out www.msm.no. Funniliy enough there are usually more foreigners running the marathon than Norwegians.
Saw a woman strutting around in a DeSoto cap, thats the first time I’ve seen someone over here wear one.
