Could have been a lull but I was there for an hour, so it was a long lull!Neil Shipleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15244888285504697256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711695456729564065.post-59936314753574461882010-02-16T10:40:22.498+01:002010-02-16T10:40:22.498+01:00I've participated in Lidingöloppet, Vasaloppet...I've participated in Lidingöloppet, Vasaloppet, Stockholm Marathon, Stockholm Half Marathon, Hässelbyloppet, Vättern Runt, Göteborgsvarvet & Vansbrosimmet and I've also been a person waiting for a friend at goal. I can't say I recognize your experience. Not during the races and not at goal. I find the Swedes are very good at cheering and helping you forward and also very good at goal. The best experience is Göteborgsvarvet (Half Marathon) which is a 21km party. Heja, heja, heja!<br /><br />So, I'm sure it must have been a temporary pause in the cheering when you were there. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711695456729564065.post-18373670970989951262010-02-15T18:07:53.276+01:002010-02-15T18:07:53.276+01:00Phew.
