This marathon is called Öland. It takes its name from the island off the east coast of southern Sweden . I came here to try to get a qualifying time for the London Marathon but alas I was too slow The results are not up yet people are still running My time was roughly 4 hours 24 minutes. The organisers made a big fuss of me and the reporter for the local paper interviewed me asking too many questions when all I wanted to do was sit down To say this was a low key Marathon would be an over statement At times I couldn’t see the runner in front or behind I liked this Marathon very much It has some nice views and we saw the sea on this three lap course. For a memento we got to choose a piece of stone with fossil indentation Although my time was slow I’m pleased I made the effort The journey to Sweden and the race took some doing I think I like Sweden 🇸🇪

To try and qualify ‘good for age’ for London Marathon I did not succeed but I enjoyed it just the same
