Did 6,5k (may be a few 100m shorter as my phone isn't the most precise on that point) in just about 33 minutes. Much better than the 5k that I did the 30th, but the 10k is still a bit away (even though today's pace was faster than what I would do for a 10k). But a very satisfying test before the real training starts monday.

@brunamoura utterly destroyed the competition in the 10k at the New Year's Run in the tiny next town over https://uitslagen.nl/uitslag?id=2020010450888 I ran the 5k and stayed a little above 26 minutes, which I'm happy with considering I had never run a significant distance on anything but asphalt before (and at least 3,5km of this lap was on pretty damp and sandy forest paths).

There are some other notable individuals. Stig Solander of Sweden was a forerunner of the legendary Ingemar Stenmark and his bronze in the slalom at the 1956 Winter Olympics was his country's first in alpine skiing. Roman Matthes of the former East Germany achieved the double in the men's 100 & 200m backstroke in both 1968 and 1972. Vilhjalmur Einarsson won Iceland's first ever Olympic medal in the men's triple jump in 1956 and one of only four overall to date.

BT Gold (voted by the athletes): The Men's National Handball team Sports Name of the Year: Mads Pedersen Coach of the Year: Casper Jørgensen (track cycling national team) Olympic Hope: Tobias Bjerg And the new member of Danish Sports Hall of Fame: Mikkel Kessler Should be the most interesting.

I know who he is. He was the man who hindered the first Danish SGP champion in 11 years...

Oh well

Liensberger gets on the podium despite being 3,49 secs, off the pace

Yea off course i saw it, twice actually, once on opening day, and 2 days ago i took my son. Anyway i enjoyed it, but i enjoyed this new trilogy, Force Awakens is my second favorite star wars movie. The end of the movie is totally reminding me of the end to Avengers Endgame. With the main force first attacking the big bad fleet, then they think all is doomed, only for ton of help to show up behind them (on your right). And Rey with the "I Am all the Jedi" , very close to "I AM IRON MAN". I Wasn't a fan of those new force powers that were not introduced before (In last jedi, luke's necklace disappeared, here they transfer stuff with the force? little too convenient) I think it would've been better if JJ would've done the whole trilogy, Last Jedi feels out of place, however they retcon'd it nicely with rey's heritage (before the movie i thought that obi-wan will be her grandfather, but after seeing the electricity it was obvious that it will be paltpatine) Looking at the very end, it's nice that she took the lightsabre's back to tatooine, however the end with her telling that she is Rey Skywalker is just not belivable, she wanted to be her own person, better way for her would've been to say "Just Rey"

I'm sorry I left my copy of the Sokovia Accords at home

Every day makes me fall in love with Trump more and more. Hopefully in 2024 his son runs. There really shouldn't be any other president in America that doesnt have the last name of Trump
