24- 48 hr at Bornholm Denmark – This weekend

This weekend sees the running of the 24 hr and 48hr at Bornholm in Denmark. Courtesy of my good friend, Jesper Olsen (who is crewing this weekend), I expect to receive some video, photos and sound bytes. This will be from his Life Pilot device that he will be using on his upcoming World Run 2. I will be uploading these files to this post when received.

Hopefully this online experiment works and you the reader reaps the benefit.
