This morning Jon, Jonas and I completed our first 24-hours adventure race called “DTU Adventure Race”. It’s the largest of its type in Denmark with 118 teams competing.The goal for this first adventure race was to complete it within the 24 hours we had available. We did it in 21 hours and 10 minutes giving us a rank of 48. Lots of room for improvements but we reached out goal so we’re able (and will) set higher goal for our next race.The race started at noon on DTU and after a short sprint we jumped on our bikes and weren’t back before twelve hours later. My only three weeks of training on a mountain bike surely wasn’t enough and I wasn’t fully able to keep up with the other guys .. but they backed me up as a great team and I was able to help up on the running later.We wasn’t really sure how much to eat and drink we had to carry along so after a o-run in the forest immediately followed by another round with bikes we were out of water. Fortunately the adventure race crew had planned a water-spot for the next check point so we were able to get filled up.I’ve uploaded a couple of pictures of the event.

That’s truly amazing - even though it’s not quite comparable to the times we were running back in Holbaek.
Looking forward seeing you next Saturday.
