Never done more than 100k before, but decided to give it a try in the Self-Supported cat.

Around 08:50 on a Friday morning I took my first running-steps. It was heavy from the start, as I hadn't recovered from some running I'd done around Kebnekaise. It was smooth running with a lot of tarmac and gravel-roads, though around km 25 I ran past a pasture with cows where the recent storm Hans had made a mark. It was completely flooded and I had algae-manuer-mud mixed water up to my thighs. Had to stop and rinse my shoes and socks after. Other than that it wasn't too bad, some trees were down here and there, especially on Kullaberg. Water was easy to get by, as there was a lot of public toilets. I had, however, have to carry 2x500ml + 2l bladder. I stopped at two different stores to bulk up on gifflar to eat, as well as some doughnuts and drinks. I bought a strawberry roll-cake as well to have later, but never ate it. After I rounded the lighthouse at Kullaberg the stomach stopped accepting food and water, so I had to ingest it in very small incraments, so by then there was nothing but tiredness and pain. Especially because I couldn't eat my gifflar...

Can't remember much from the run to be honest, it's all a big blur. What I remember is that it was beatiful, challenging, and kind of lonely to run by oneself for that long.
