Another early start and another SAS flight, North to Kiruna, well inside the Arctic Circle. My race, the Tierra Arctic Ultra, is run in conjunction with the Fjallraven Classic; 2300 backpackers from 25 nations, so the registration is a hectic place but the small counter for the Ultra has no queue !
The place is buzzing, I engross myself in it and bump into Michel who led my trip on the Kungsluden Trail last year, he is guiding a group on the Classic.
Time flies, I pitch my Nordisk Telemark (it feels at home in Scandinavia !), sort my kit, dine out and then set numerous alarms; I am paranoid about missing the bus at 4am, it's the only way of getting to the start of the race !
