First time ever my sister and I did a proper race (besides a 1,5km race for kids a billion years ago). Yesterday (tuesday 24th of May) it was the annual Blodomloppet, a race in favour of blood donation. As a special birthday present for Erika I had entered us both to run 10km. She got other stuff as well - I'm not a terrible sister. (Took her to see the new Pirates film. It was entertaining but not fantastic).
The rain was pooring down, but just before the start it stopped and the sky turned blue. It was sunshine the whole race through. I'm very proud of both myself and my sister. There was 500-something women completing the 10k race.
Results: Erika placed 107th (50:11min) and I placed 52nd (47:51). We both agreed that is was not the last time we'll do a race like that.
