Vondelparkloop The Netherlands
(This was supposed to be a 5km but they had dug up the park and planned on having it finished on time for the race but they didn’t count on frost freezing the ground hard)

It may look funny but they gave us these heart-shaped hand warmer packs after the race. It was so cold and wet I activated them and then  stuffed them down my top on the tram trip home. A chemical reaction inside makes them warm. Pretty cool thing, also can be used as a reguarl ice pack.

SloterplasloopThe Netherlands

Distance : 5km

Race Number: 380

Time 00:26:38

My first real race. 5km around a piece of the Sloterplas park area in Amsterdam West. My favorite “medal” by far, because I needed the guts to turn up at this race alone. First time I ever ran on a real running track.

Prutmarathon (mud marathon), The Netherlands

Strangest run ever. Was genuinely expectinga  quick run around a field and a splash about in water. Turned out to be hardcore lunacy. Was wrecked after the first water ditch, which runners had to crawl out of. Mud, mud mud. Was not clean for days afterwards. In a weird twist a guy from Dutch TV decided to torture me by filming most of my last round. I smiled and said what I thought was nice to say with my barely-there Dutch. As a reward, he  asked for me to get a luxury only the winner should have,  to be washed by a bunch of girls on the back of a truck with an audience. Strange day. When the mud was finally gone, I managed to sun burn myself as well.

Distance: 3km ( and a small matter of 72 water ditches)

Race Number: 84

Time: 48:05

Eirefairy: 48:05, 3km

This is the first sloot (ditch) they go in clean, come out dirty.
