SnooBI in Helsinki City Run 2008
 |
From processor hum to muscle power
A generous third of SnooBI's personnel slipped a timer chip onto their sneakers on Saturday 10.5.2008 and went to challenge themselves in the Helsinki City Run half marathon. Ahead lied 21,1 kilometres of hot asphalt and in the beginners' minds loomed the burning question, what have I gotten myself into?
Not to worry, apart from one minor knee injury, everybody crossed the finish line with honors. The fiercest even beat the two-hour timeline. The half marathon was a welcomed incentive to balance brain work with exercise and a step in SnooBI's goal to activate their own to take good care of their physical health. |
As a trump card, the SnooBIs used Fenno Natura's
Gutzy sports supplements in both training and during the actual race. The unusually hot weather prompted a great demand for the energy gels, which we clenched on to for an easy energy boost.
The event gathered a record 7800 participants and was arranged by the
Finnish Sports Federation. Enthused about the success, SnooBIs running team has already set their sight on the next event,
Espoo's coastline marathon on the 21st of September.
