OCR (Obstacle Race) EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS 2017 How do you summarize a weekend you haven't realized actually have happened?! I'm back in sweden after an unforgettable weekend who definitely has given me an experience for life. I am so extremely THANKFUL for everything. Just the fact that I was able to participate is absolutely AMAZING...and that I ended up as the European Champion was a shock and more than I could have ever dreamt of. Success comes with happiness. Short distance, long distance, team fun run and charity run! I am convinced that it went so well for me because I had so much fun... before, during and after the race. I was running around with a big smile on my face...I loved it.

A challenging sport which really push your body and mind to it's limits. I think THANKFUL is a good word to summarize it all.

I am so thankful for all the support I've got from my family and friends the past 4 years... without them I wouldn't have been here today.

I'm also extremely thankful for the support I've got during the weekend, I am thankful for all the new friends I've got to know, thankful for all the challenges I overcame this weekend, thankful for everything I've learnt about myself both mentally and physically...

I also want to take the chance to say THANK YOU to the organizer OCR European Championships for a weekend full of challenges, happiness, frustration, pain, mud, rain, sun, ups and downs... 🙏

AND THANK YOU to OCRTUBE.com for following me through the race and over the finish line! 😀 (you find me in this video after about 1:35sec)
