Last year, Jakob Ingebrigtsen set Norway’s best record in the 10km street race under Hytteplanmila, with a time of 27.54. He did it even though he barely made it to the beginning.
Therefore, there were expectations that he could race at a better time in this year’s edition.
The short answer is that he couldn’t.
Ingebrigtsen had clear problems on the road, and with a few kilometers remaining, the Sandnes rider had to brake.
– Today did not work, says Jakob Ingebrigtsen to NRK.
– What happened?
– I don’t know very well. I was good in training on Thursday and yesterday I felt very good, but today I ran over.
– How did you feel before you started?
– I felt good. No, it didn’t work.
– Did Gjert mention that you had a nosebleed before the start?
– It’s dry, but it didn’t work.
– Without explanation?
– No, he said before disappearing to change clothes.
Coach Gjert Ingebrigtsen was very concerned for the runner’s son during the race.
– What the hell happened to Jakob? Now Narve is in second place. Jacob must have stopped, he said.
– Did Jakob say before the race that he didn’t feel so good?
– No, he bled profusely from his nose before he started. I do not know what happened.
– Do you do that often?
– No no no.
Ingebrigtsen circled the target area and followed the updates live by phone, before going to the Red Cross to ask if his people knew what had happened.
– Those who drive behind have not seen anything, was the answer he got.
Norwegian Eritrean Won
Zerei Kbrom Mezngi, who has come to Norway from Eritrea as a refugee, tightened control of the race midway and won with superiority after going only the last half of the race. The 34-year-old arrived on time at 28.20.
Narve Giljås Nordås was second with 28.28 minutes. It was eight seconds to 3rd place. Filip Ingebrigtsen finished seventh with 29.03.
He also did not have an explanation why neither he nor his little brother made it possible.
– It was a bit heavy day. I was a bit tired from last weekend and felt that it was abnormally heavy. So while it was easy last weekend, it probably brought in a little more than I expected. I have a slightly thin base, and then a tikometer costs a little more than you want, he tells NRK.
– Do you feel like it’s the end of the season?
– It’s probably the beginning of the season, I’ve had a little offseason and then it’s a bit heavy.
– Do you know what happened to Jakob?
– You have to ask Jakob about that, says Filip – before he also enters the clubhouse to change.
Raw grøvdal
Karoline Bjerkeli Grøvdal ran a cannon race and did what Jakob and Filip Ingebrigtsen did not:
Set a new Norwegian record of ten ki street races. It is also the second fastest in Europe throughout the centuries. Only the legendary Paula Radcliffe has run faster.
Grøvdal ran 30.32, nine seconds weaker than Radcliffe’s record.
– I’m completely dumb, she said after the end.
