A successful FKT (Supported) attempt at the Sigtuna-Barkarby section of the Upplandsleden. Garmin watch (20 secs quicker) is playing up trying to download, so this is uploaded directly from my mobile.
In short, things went pretty well. Anna dropped me off at the start and then met me after the ridiculous first 4km hacking through the jungle - changed kit here including wet shoes. Then Billy met me in Sigtuna and ran with me for 6-7 km, a great help, plus a drink and a banana. Went a bit wrong in Rosersberg, probably cost me 2 mins. Picked up 4 out of my 5 bottles I’d left out on the course which helped. Met Anna & Leo in Kallhäll & Görvälns for drinks and support. Wheels started coming off in this really tough section (50-60km ish) but just about held it together. Met Anna & Leo again with 3 km and Leo ran with me to the finish which was a massive help and really fun that he was there at the end.
64.46 on the Garmin (4.59/km) and 64.9 here (4.57/km).
Now for a few days’ rest........
