• I entered (havent done it yet) my first tri a while back. I bet this is pretty typical. But I picked it as a pretty fun focused event With a short swim (500m). Trouble is the ride is 6,2km and the run 1,8km. Up the side of a mountain. But still a bit short and intense for my tastes really. Then a mate waved this under my nose...

    Epic looking bike ride, and a Nice half Marathon run. But 1900m along a 11C fjord is way Beyond me.

    I need talking out of this......

  • The bike ride was apparantly freezing last year. One of those 'oh shit I need to get Down from here but fast feels colder' descents. Except you double back and do it in reverse after. The mate offering me the Place, says it was the hardest ride he'd ever done because of the Cold. He wasnt much of a climber at the time though. I reckon he popped hitting the peak the first time.
