Tek Trojk





Tek Trojk is a popular running competition in the forests of Ljubljana, holding a 60-year old tradition. Groups of three runners have to complete a dynamic course (12 or 29km) which passes across Golovec (440m). The event has a strong historical touch, because during WW2 Partisans were said to be scouting in groups of three. Taking this competition quite seriously with the lads, we organized preliminary qualifications in order to form two teams - Podkrimci 1 and Podkrimci 2. Funny to say, but this is usually more brutal then the competition itself. With a little help of an angry Beagle that attacked Simon during qualifications, I managed to join the elite. However; being the weakest link was a completely new chapter to me - see my expression on the photo above. I am proud to say that together with Damjan and Leon, we finished 7th among more than 1300 teams! My track is avaliable on the following link. Andraž and Simon finished 14th. When reflecting (pizza and beer) in the city center we concluded that preparation, training, rivalry, celebration and friendship are even more important than the actual results!
