Midnight Sun Marathon 2010

Here are some photos from my participation in MSM 2010, my first marathon race ever. The race started the 19th of June at 8:30PM. It was 4-6°C and rain that day! Not exactly perfect conditions, but either way a fabulous experience! I crossed the finish line at 03:41:45 as number 89 of 313 men, or 27 of 71 in my class, "Men 30-39 years", and I could hardly have been happier with the result! I can add that my average speed was approximately 11.5km/h (~8.4 minutes/mile) and the average number of heartbeats per minute was 159 during the 26.2 miles.
