On Saturday Treysti organised the annual TF Run in Klaksvík. The talent group has usually been in Klaksvík when this race has taken place, and this weekend the middle- and long-distance runners from the talent group were once again at a training camp in Klaksvík. Other young runners who have been regulars in the TF Winter Series were also invited along.
A very strong team of runners. Hans Erland, Ingi, Gunnar Elisabet, Elin Kristina, Rutt, Oddvør, Maria and Steintór. Niklas has already run past the photographer.
The training camp began with circuit training together with Treysti on Friday. On Saturday morning came the race, where the talent group took home most of the honours. Some of the talents rather fancied challenging the leader, since a shorter course was to be run. But, as could be expected, the attempt failed.

On Saturday afternoon we ran some fun relays on the football pitch. Here Niklas Kruse’s team, Dragon Riders, managed a narrow win over the Panda Diddies, who had Steingrímur Hallsson as captain. Wicked tongues claimed that Dragon Riders had a big advantage in having Gutti on their team – because he tried to cheat wherever he saw the chance, but he was not alone in that.
On Saturday evening there was a cosy get-together in the loft of the Scout House with a film screening. We watched the film about the legendary American runner Steve Prefontaine. Perhaps Steingrímur thought the film was boring, because right in the middle of it he pulled the plug on the projector, which would not switch back on until it had cooled down. Yellow card to Steingrímur!
On Sunday morning at 08:45 we went on an off-road run along an outfield track above Ánirnar, north into Svartidalur. Most of us ran in mountain running shoes, so it suited us well. Afterwards we went to the swimming pool. The camp ended at Jórun’s bakery, where we had a good lunch with dessert.
