WC Half-marathon
0
This had been hyped as being the biggest and most festive race in Denmark, and it did not disappoint.
It was one week before "fyr til fyr" so I had to keep my pace slow and just enjoy the crowd and the atmosphere.
The weather was perfect which brought out the smiles on the participants as well as a good bunch of spectators. Standing along the road cheering for 30.000 people is just a lot more fun when the sun is shining. I managed to keep my pace down and enjoyed the race a lot.
Unfortunately I had made a mistake as the inner lining of my shorts had not been sitting properly which had created a rather large wound between my legs. So after I had cooled down from the race I was walking like John Wayne (or a guy who had s*** him self). Not the best preparations for a 60k trail run!
Luckily I remembered the remedy I had found after my first marathon which had left me with a similar injury: zinc lotion. I applied it multiple times a day for the coming days and luckily it helped the wound to recover completely in an amazing time.
