Sollentunaloppet, 42 km, 25 February 2007

Skater and photographer Jonas Schön generously sent me these photos.

He has no homepage of his own where he can publish them! As soon as he gets one I will
give the photos back to him.

Sollentunaloppet is a competition on a 14 km track (3 laps) on lake Norrviken just north of Stockholm. As usual the event was well arranged.

This year the ice had almost no cracks, an advantage for me who have bad skating technique
on ice - it was the first ice skating competition for years where I haven't fallen. (I'm the skater
with bib no 40.)

A few kilometers after the start.

Peter Resar who finally won the race.

Here we were in trouble but we finally managed to catch up on the pack in front of us.
