On the men's side, David Nilsson, Högby IF / MotionMetrix, became best Swede in fifth place with 1:40:05 in the Lidingö race

- I knew that the African runners were stronger runners so I had to do my own race.

I was not turned on enough, I am a little disappointed, says Nilsson who was taken ill this spring.

Linnea Sennström, Hässelby SK, finished strong and took second place in the ladies' race behind Sylvia Medugu.

The Swede ran in at 1:57:52, 2 minutes and 49 seconds behind the Kenyan.
