The IRONMAN in Kalmar was held on August 18th 2012. The Athletes swam in Kalmar Strait, competed on their bikes in the typical Swedish scenery and ran through the beautiful historic town center past Kalmar Castle before they finished at the main square of Kalmar.

Kalmar is my home town and I lived there until I was 23 years old. My parents and my dear grandmother still lives there and we usually go there a couple of weeks, especially in the summer, every year.
