Sweden :-)

In the early morning Sarah and I arrived to the capital of Sweden, Stockholm. An impressive sight withits silouhette of old castles, fortresses and new highrise like "Globen" appearing as we sailed into the central harbour.

A big treat to be greated by my friend and host in the first world run, Micke Hill from Stockholm Marathon, and Swedens leading ultra talent on 24h to 6day, Christian Ritella whom I met last year at the 24h worldchamp. in Canada.

Good company on our first day in Sweden - and first day pushing the running stroller (kindly sponsored by ABC-Kids in denmark :-)

Micke was also this time a great host and invited to go along on the traditional August crab fishing !

Sarah struggeled a bitw. motivation but hopefully tomorrow will bring better times ! For my part the knee still need me to be carefull to keep warm and keep streatching :-)
