Skellefteå OK National Meet, Sweden, 1982, M35

This was a one-day national meet in northern Sweden, just before the 5-days in Luleå (where I was 16th out of 171 in H35A1). The results show a small field, 30 starters and 26 finishers. I remember only a couple of things -- there were very few trees up on the high ground, and my award for finishing second was an axe. I believe they canvassed the local merchants for awards and got whatever they had in surplus. I gave the axe to some Swede I'd met and he was quite happy to have it, just as I was quite happy to be rid of it!
