On Saturday the fourth round of the Betri Winter Series was run out west in Vágar. Frælsi organised it, and they offered the beautiful route from Sørvágur to Bøur and back. The weather was better than forecast, and despite a strong headwind on the way home, conditions were perfectly decent all the same.
None of the top four women from the New Year Half Marathon took part. On the other hand, two strong names turned out for their first race of the winter. Rebekka Fuglø, who has been off travelling for three months, and young Oddvør Josephsen showed up, and although their current training form is somewhat unknown, they must always be counted among the favourites. And it was indeed Rebekka who sped off to victory a minute ahead of Oddvør, who in turn was a minute ahead of Beinta Hoydal Joensen from Bragdið, who nevertheless now leads overall.
Rebekka and Oddvør ran their first race of the winter and finished 1st and 2nd. It is Beinta, though, who leads the Winter Series
The men’s race seemed decided before even a kilometre had been run. Nobody could live with Eirikur Hansen from Bragdið, and he was already light years ahead of the rest when the field turned for home at Bøur. Hjalmar Sjóvará from Bragdið and Regin Thomsen from Roysnið had yet another long duel. Hjalmar towed Regin behind him the whole way, and also had the strength to reach the finish first, where, just as in Kerjar, the margin was only one second.
Eirikur won yet another Winter Series race, and Hjalmar and Regin had yet another dead-even race between them
