I do hope nobody misreads the headline and perhaps thinks that some runner has caught salmonella from all the lovely cakes that Frælsi laid on after the race on Saturday. No, nobody fell ill. On the contrary, we were much fresher after the 21.1 km than when we stood in the middle of the village in Gásadalur, looking up anxiously at the fierce climb towards the tunnel.
The weather was as perfect as you could wish for in a race like this. Spells of sunshine, mild, dry and a tailwind for most of the route. Only on the last stretch from Giljanes did the runners face a headwind. Sam Vang and Henry Olsen showed very good form and ran really good times on this tough route, where the 2 km climb from the church in Sørvágur up to the airport also costs a lot in the final time.
Ella Áarstein also ran at her very best and won the women’s race in a close contest with Eydna Olsen and Astrid Joensen. No fewer than 40 women and 44 men finished this race, which received an unexpectedly good response.
Sam Vang is in very good form at the moment and became the winner of the 1st Gásadalur ½ marathon. (photo borrowed from: jn.fo)
