17Distance today: 51.0 km (Accumulated: 35000.0 km)
Elapsed time: 05:04:26
Country: Usa
35 000 :-))) !
At the end of the last km on todays 51km run I reach one of the round km
stones in world run 2: 35T. kms.
Since the legs has been very sore after the 3 heavy-backpack days it was a little struggle. But also due to good navigation following me through the maze of streets in Portland, Maine, by my supportdriver, Alex, the run went well. And not least thanks to some long rest-stops through the day to keep the legs as fresh as possible.
In a few hours I'll upload all the pictures from this and yesterdays stage. But untill then: Rest, Icecream and time to cherish the moment.
In a few days I will upload a "35 000km report" where I as usual at these main points in the run sum up the physical, mental, cultural and nature experienses in overview since the start back in Nordkapp, Norway, above the arctic circle; 4 years ago.
The scedule for the remaining two months of the run is:
15/5 To border: running on hwy.1, then onto hwy.46 and 9.
27/5 Border Usa/Canada at St. Stephen.
18/6 Sydney on Nova Scotia (end of Nova Scotia stages - ferry to New Foundland).
15/7 Finish at St. Johns, on New Foundland, Canada.
- At this moment it looks like I will have company by one of the sponsors, Pyroll from Finland, since their ceo., Reino, plans to join the run across New Foundland taking part in all stages the last 900km of the wr2. This sponsor has ended up playing a central role in the run, having good understanding of the challenge and beeing ready to help when things are extra difficult. A Huge THANK YOU to Pyroll and its courageous ceo. :-)
NB: the endomondo gps-track is online. (And unlike yesterday the system worked without 'surprises' today ;-)
