Scandinavia ?

- today was the first time in probably 11 000km that I ran in temperatures below 20c. And if you look at the live-pictures you will see that the terrain on the last halfof the stage today actually looks like Scandinavia: pineforrest, sawmills, steep green hills, white mist rolling in..
What a change from running along tropical palmbeaches right untill yesterday where I begun to run inland !

But the terrain here also comes with the uphill running similar to Northern Scandinavia, so it will be an interesting challenge tomorrow ;-)
