Didrik åpnet hardt i Ultra Trail Dinarides (171 km / 8430 hm), for hardt!

Didrik Hermansen åpnet knallhardt i Ultra Trail Dinarides i kroatiske Sinj denne helgen, og etter 1600 høydemeter i starten og enda en stor stigning hadde han en ledelse på 30 minutter! Det hadde nok gått for fort, for han måtte senere gi seg med oppkast og tegn på dehydrering. (Arrangørfoto)

Likevel så vi jo at han åpenbart må være i knallform...

Didrik deltok på den lengste og tøffeste av fem distanser:
Kings Race - 171,2 km - 8430 høydemeter.

Etter løpet skriver Didrik på facebook:
- Late update. Short story: DNF🥵 The longer version: Starting at 1 pm, over 30 degrees with 1600 meters climb ahead was hard. I started out quite comfortable but should probably had gone out even easier. After the first two climbs I had managed to create almost 30 min lead and felt warm but still ok. 

- Then I started vomiting and that continued for several hours. My kidneys where actually hurting, a typical sign of severe dehydration🥵 I tried to sleep in a cabin for a few hours just to restart the system but on my way to the next aid station I felt it wasn’t any better. 

- At least I was able to experience a beautiful sunrise in fantastic mountains. Hope to be back next year. Thanks @ultra_trail_dinarides for the opportunity🙏 And thanks to all of you for the support.
