In football, scoring three consecutive goals by the same player is considered a hat trick. The term has since been applied to many other sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Northern Ultra Trail Service Oy \u2013 or NUTS, as it’s better known \u2013 got to celebrate its own kind of hat trick, as the Yll\u00e4s Pallas trail running event broke its participation record with 2,591 starters. Earlier this year, NUTS had already set records at both Karhunkierros<\/a> and Sy\u00f6te<\/a> \u2013 cue the victory music!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NUTS Yll\u00e4s Pallas grew by 460 runners compared to last year \u2013 an increase of over 20 percent. This despite (or perhaps thanks to?) a scorching heat wave across the country that pushed many runners to their limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Erkkil\u00e4 finding her top gear<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With temperatures reaching over 30\u00b0C, it\u2019s no surprise that no course records were set. Still, there were plenty of impressive performances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the 37 km Trail Tour Finland (TTF) race, Anna-Stiina Erkkil\u00e4<\/strong> was in a league of her own, finishing under 3 hours (2:56:32) despite the midday heat. Teija Lehtim\u00e4ki<\/strong> was 22 minutes behind, and Heidi Horttanainen<\/strong> over 41 minutes back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It wasn\u2019t my most energetic run ever, but it was smooth and without major issues, so I\u2019m happy,” Erkkil\u00e4 shared on social media. “For the first time I tried running part of the course with an ice scarf, which really helped during the scorching Yll\u00e4s climb.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Erkkil\u00e4 spent much of the winter injured but is now staging a strong comeback. She seems unbeatable in Finland, and it\u2019ll be fascinating to see how sharp she can get by the World Championships in late September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Could Varis soon become the “Trail Councillor”?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the men’s 37 km race, Kari Varis<\/strong> took the win in 2:37:41. Known on social media as “Ski Councillor”, Varis might need to consider a name change to “Trail Councillor” after taking the TTF overall lead<\/a> with four races remaining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Today I decided to go for race pace despite the heat, since I\u2019ve been training well. The gap to the others opened already in the first kilometre.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Hannu Airila<\/strong> promised me a backdoor entry to the Vaarojen Marathon since I forgot to sign up in time. Jukola didn\u2019t go great, so I figured I better start running again,” Varis joked, referring to his aim of winning the overall TTF title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Severi Kym\u00e4l\u00e4inen<\/strong>, the reigning Finnish long-distance orienteering champion, came second in 2:41:16 and paid tribute at the finish to a late teammate from Tampereen Pyrint\u00f6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“\u2018Karppa\u2019 (Varis) messaged me a couple of weeks ago saying I had no chance against him \u2013 and well, that\u2019s how it went,” Kym\u00e4l\u00e4inen said with a smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tommi Lintala<\/strong> struggled with the heat late in the race but held on for third in 2:45:48.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“In the Pirunkuru climb I pushed too hard, and as I started the descent to Kes\u00e4nki my muscles totally shut down \u2013 I collapsed on the rocks. I had to lie there for quite a while, and that\u2019s when Severi overtook me. Sometimes falling mid-race causes full-body cramping, and that\u2019s exactly what happened. Once I got back on my feet, I slowly started walking, then jogging, and surprisingly managed to run decently all the way to the finish,” Lintala recounted on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The heat drained Simpanen and Bengs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The 160 km distance at Yll\u00e4s Pallas was also the second race of the Ultra Trail Tour Finland<\/a> (UTTF) season. All runners who complete all three UTTF races will earn the coveted finisher\u2019s vest. The final race will be the 130 km at Vaarojen Marathon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eevi Bengs<\/strong> and Juuso Simpanen<\/strong> both set out with course records in mind. They were still on record pace at the Pallas checkpoint (66 km), but the hot weather eventually got the better of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It was not an easy day. The stretch from Ketomella to Pallas was particularly tough. I had way too little fluid for that section and felt pretty wrecked before reaching Pallas. When the air cooled at night, I started feeling better again. But yeah, the heat drained me,” said Simpanen, who won in 17:30:23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The course record held by Slovakia\u2019s Marian Priadka<\/strong> remained safely out of reach, more than an hour away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For Simpanen, this was also an important prep race ahead of the 246 km Spartathlon at the end of September, where scorching heat can be just as punishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I learned a lot here. Especially a great reminder of how much fluid you actually burn through in this kind of heat. Spartathlon is likely to be similar in conditions, so this was the perfect dress rehearsal.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Later, Simpanen posted on social media that he drank about 1.1 liters of fluid per hour during the race. He spent nearly 14 minutes in total at aid stations \u2014 about twice as long as he normally would.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eevi Bengs<\/strong> was aiming to beat Irene P\u00e4\u00e4rn\u2019s<\/strong> course record of 21:49:20, but ultimately missed it by over two hours. On top of that, she was overtaken in the final 15 km by Hungary\u2019s Kata Kertesz<\/strong>, who claimed the win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Every time there was a deep puddle, I went in for a dip, dunked my head, but it still didn\u2019t help much. I should\u2019ve started with a totally different strategy \u2013 I hadn\u2019t done any heat training, so racing was kind of a dumb idea. Without my amazing crew, I wouldn\u2019t have made it to the finish,” Bengs admitted at the finish line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Heinaro and Pirkonen take double wins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The 66 km route from Hetta to Pallas saw a battle between Einari Heinaro<\/strong> and Anton Aro<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was Heinaro\u2019s longest trail race so far, while Aro, coming off a rough start to his season, was eager to add something other than DNS or DNF next to his name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Heinaro, who won the 37 km race at this event last year, showed that he also masters the longer distances and crossed the finish line in 5:53:44. Aro came in just under 10 minutes later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We ran together until the first climb, where I seemed to have a slightly better pace, and that\u2019s where the gap opened. But I was nervous if it would hold until the end!” said Heinaro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I felt strong up until the marathon mark, but the last 25 km were tough. Maybe I\u2019ve got some southern blood, since I usually don\u2019t mind the heat. But for the last 8 km, I ran out of fluids.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fluids were an issue for Aro too \u2014 he estimated drinking around 12 liters during the race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I sweat a lot. Like a pig. Can\u2019t wait to see in the data how many puddles I sat in out there. How much time I spent stopped versus actually running,” Aro laughed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the women\u2019s 66 km, favorite Kaisa Pirkonen<\/strong> (7:24:44) delivered, finishing more than 30 minutes ahead of runner-up Ella Keski-Panula<\/strong>. Last year, Pirkonen won the 100 km distance at the same event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“This one was definitely tougher than last year. The heat really took a toll.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pirkonen was selected for the World Championships team, but injured her ankle badly late last year. This was her first trail race since that accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The ankle held up surprisingly well. I came here in June to test if I could even run the course \u2014 and back then it was still really difficult. I\u2019m pleasantly surprised with how well it held today,” she said with relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Three podiums for Slovakia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the 100 km races, victories went to Maija Oravam\u00e4ki<\/strong> (12:33:31) and Otto Saikkonen<\/strong> (10:48:20). In the fast 15 km race, the quickest were Heidi Maaranen<\/strong> (1:18:59) and Norway\u2019s Ask Rudi Berentsen<\/strong> (1:09:42).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Special mention goes to the Slovak athletes, who returned home with no fewer than three podium finishes. It\u2019s a pleasure to see both elite and experience-seeking international runners finding their way to NUTS events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The NUTS trail party continues on August 9th at Pyh\u00e4<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
