Results from TF VK-4 in Sørvágur this morning

Conditions were far from ideal when Frælsi staged round four of the TF Winter Series (VK-4) in Sørvágur this morning. The course was around 8.6 kilometres, from the church in Sørvágur out to Bíggjar above the village and beyond, then back through Bøur and on to the finish by the church. A cold, stiff wind blowing in along Sørvágsfjørður meant the outward leg to the turn was run at a slow pace.

Although sleet and the odd hail shower greeted the runners as they drove west, there was no precipitation while the race itself was under way. But just after the last runner crossed the finish line, another hail shower arrived.

It was almost like watching a cycle race, as many runners sat in groups on the “wheels” of others in the strong headwind. On the way back everything changed. The pace picked up considerably and hardly anyone could keep up.

Despite the poor weather, no fewer than 84 runners turned up and finished, the largest number of runners ever since the Winter Series began.

After the race Frælsi, which did an excellent job organising the event, served hot soup and coffee/tea in the SÍ building, and it was surely welcomed by everyone, runners and organisers alike.

The men’s race was once again won by Marnar Djurhuus. Behind him came Sam Vang and Eirikur Hansen. In the women’s race it was again Bjørk Herup Olsen who finished first, followed by Rebekka Fuglø and Rigmor N. Arge.

The veterans’ category was once again won by Henry Olsen, but the gap seems to be narrowing with each round to Hallur Holm, who was second again this time. Súni Jacobsen finished third.

Ann Thomsen was the first veteran woman across the line, followed by Astrid Joensen and Hergerð Heldarskarð.

67-year-old Jens R. Weihe, who is dominant in the super-veterans’ category, won again this morning. Second was Jósvein Herup Olsen, while Gunnar Simonsen was third.

The junior categories were won by Marnar Djurhuus and Rebekka Fuglø, while Gunnar Sivertsen and Maria Biskopstø won the boys’ and girls’ categories.

Round five of the TF Winter Series will be held in conjunction with the Faroese Cross-Country Championships, which take place in Hoydalar on Saturday 1 February.
