It was a rather depleted field that set off when round 7 of the TF Winter Series (VK7) got under way this morning. Smyril’s cancellation of the Saturday-evening sailing north led many to pull out. But many runners had already travelled south, and postponing the race was not an option: it either had to be cancelled or go ahead. In the end, 45 runners still made it to the start.
The weather was considerably better than forecast. Vágsfjørður runs east–west, so the race was run in the shelter of the mountains. Heading out towards Núpur there was some headwind and uphill running, but on the way back the pace really picked up.
