Why did you choose to run the ABN AMRO Marathon Rotterdam?

Because my good friends Gudleik Husby and Terje Solemsaune did run in Rotterdam in 2010, and they were so impressed of the whole arrangement - very well organisated. And after my good shape in Oslo Marathon in September, I decided to set a new goal for the training. Because of Gudleik and Terje, I´m now registrated for 2012, and I´m looking forward to enjoy the run in Rotterdam..also with some familymembers(Mari,Hanne and Steinar).

Through friends (Gudleik and Terje).

What are your expectations of the forthcoming ABN AMRO Marathon Rotterdam?

Fast track, a little bit warmer weather than home, happy and enthusiastic crowd, well organizated start/finish-area, hopefully a special medal.

And Gudleik Husby and Terje Solemsaune is coming back in 2012, for theirs second run in Rotterdam.

What would you like to say (in your own language) to other people who are running or would like to run the marathon in Rotterdam?

"Find Your Rhythm - Enjoy Your Run!"

Jeg liker å kombinere min største hobby,løping, med å reise rundt og oppleve nye byer og arrangementer!
Det blir spennende å se hvor mange forskjellige byer/maraton jeg tilslutt får i samlinga.
I Rotterdam er det i tillegg mulig å få en god sluttid på maraton - dette pga den flate traséen.
