Copenhagen Half Marathon 2015 Race Report

So this race started like any other race – with the mandatory kit lay down.

As per usual by this point, Copenhagen greeted me and Cata with heavy rain. Not to mention the fact that everything went wrong for Cata, from choosing the wrong underwear to forgetting her headphones.

But we weren’t gonna let all that be against us and we set out to make the best that we could out of the race.

Cata was struggling a bit but I felt around the 10K mark that I might have it in me to do a sub-2 despite not having properly trained for it. So I set off with the best intentions to at least try to get a PB if nothing else.

And it worked! Despite everything being against us we both ran our best half marathon times to date and I got a PB of 2h 02m! We were totally overjoyed!

We decided to treat ourselves to some post-race beers on the train and man, I dont think a beer has ever tasted that good!

ORA Logo

Mixcloud launched the second edition of the Online Radio Awards in association with the International Radio Festival earlier this summer.

Submissions were open for best music show, best talk show and best station across different genres and categories and the winners were decided by a public and industry panel vote.

Today 24 winners were announced across a number of categories and territories and I am so incredibly excited to share that the Jazzman Records radio show on NTS was voted the best jazz show of 2015!

Many thanks to all of you who voted for us! Both me and Gerald really do appreciate all your continuous support when it comes to both our shows and the various releases on our labels. We never expected to get nominated for this award, let alone win, and we definitely couldn’t have done it without your help.

You can catch our show LIVE every fourth Friday on NTS Radio between 12-2pm – with the next one coming up on the 21st of August.
