Quite nice field, though a bit crowded so I hope the pacemakers will take it out hard. In Heusden we had a similar size field and if the first two km is not fast enough you can run your legs out just positioning yourself in there.But with the regular pacemakers Keino plus Kiplak it should be ok.
20 minutes jog this morning, one lap around the Sognsvann lake. Early in the morning, quiet and beautiful surroundings. What you need to start off the competition day..
– Sogsvann Lake, south side –
More phyio yesterday evening to get the last part of the training + races out of the legs. And the Bislett strawberry party of course, great tradition the day before the meeting. Link to some pics from the Strawberry party
Now it is just to get ready for 20.15 this evening. Get a good float in the first 2000 meters, concentrate up to 3000 and then push as much as possible all the way it. Hopefully the legs will be recovered well and the crowd will be what Bislett has been known for..
Getting ready,
Marius
