Tomorrow the last and deciding round of the 2008/09 Winter Series will be run in Runavík. It will be very exciting to see who walks off with the biggest trophy in the men’s competition, because going into the race Guttorm Sørensen of Treysti and Sam Vang of Bragdið are dead level. That means whichever of the two finishes ahead tomorrow will stand on the top step of the podium. The battle for 3rd place will be between Jan Elmar Sørensen of Treysti and Andrias Hansen of Bragdið. A real Tórshavn vs Klaksvík contest!
In the other categories most of the winners have already been decided. In the girls’ and boys’ categories it is the national team runners Rebekka Fuglø of Treysti and Rúni Seloy of Bragdið who cannot be caught. The same goes for the junior men and junior women, where Jan Elmar Sørensen of Treysti and Bjørk Herup Olsen have already won. Bjørk has also won the women’s category ahead of the last round. Here the battle for 2nd and 3rd place will be between Rannvá Djurholm and Súsonna S. Sørensen of Bragdið. In the women’s veterans’ category only Eyð Matras can win, but first she must complete tomorrow’s race so that she has taken part in three races in total.
Three Treysti runners lead the men’s veterans’ competition: Borgar Biskokstøð, Tummas Joensen and Bogi Gardar. But the man holding the best cards is most likely Bragdið runner Regin Zachariasen, who has results from only two races so far. Among the super-veterans, Jens Weihe of Frælsi has already secured 1st place with three wins. Steindor Hjaltalin of Bragdið is currently in second place, but he must keep Óli Olsen behind him in this last round if he is to hold on to his 2nd place.
Unfortunately the weather forecast for tomorrow morning is very uncertain. Strong northerly wind, precipitation and temperatures around freezing. It would be a great shame if the running conditions are not good, because many runners have been looking forward to precisely this race, where conditions are usually good for fast times.
If conditions are so bad that the race cannot be run tomorrow morning, this will be announced here on the website by 09:00 tomorrow at the latest. The organisers are nevertheless hoping for the best!
