For the last two days of my quick Europe trip (where I ran the World 100k Championships), I traveled to Odense, Denmark with one of my best friends Sonja. While I was there, Sonja and her husband Vincent gave me a tour of the town of Odense. Odense is the birthplace of the most well-known Danish author - Hans Christian Andersen, and there was a lot of statues scattered around the downtown area in his honour. Sonja and I decided that we do a different yoga pose in front of each statue that we came across. I was still very sore from my recent race, so getting into those poses was a challenge, but we had a lot of fun. Sonja and Vincent also took me to their favourite pub and we enjoyed some local brews and a bit of an interesting walk home :)

Thank you Sonja and Vincent for giving me a warm and cozy place to stay for the last 2 nights of my trip. It was great being in someone's home - rather than the bunker-style accommodations at athlete's village. I hope to visit again soon.
