As I really enjoyed my last Midnight Run (2011) it was clear that this event would be on my race calendar for this year. I was even happier when my sister informed me that she will be joining me for this race! Therefore we went ahead and booked her flights immediately and set it all up in perfect time.
The race itself went fairly well. As an after-effect of having twisted my ankles in the woods during some orienteering, I had rested the weeks before the race and therefore knew that I wouldn’t be in my best shape. Nevertheless I managed to start of with a quite good pace which I was then even able to maintain to the end.
To recover from this nightly activities some mökki relaxation was in order, which I think was highly exciting for my sister as well :-)
All in all a very happy weekend…
