Sub4 Sparta

I have never been a runner's built, but I do have a certain endurance. Most marathon runners are lean and mean, but since I was too heavy for speed, I could do the distance instead, and races of 10 km or half-marathon was my speciality. As training before the 1993 Hannover Marathon I ran the Griseløbet half marathon in March 1993 and surprised anyone, myself included, to finish the race in 1:20:40. All the way I had a feeling of running too fast, breaking down too early, but somehow I managed to keep the kettle boiling for the whole of the race. The tights are not so special, my legs are a little too long for the stirrups, and these tights have never been to the mountains. And probably never will.
