Running

Loads of orienteering around these parts, theres a fair few of those 'stations?' around the trail I run. Season has'nt started yet though, and I'm avoiding starting new hobbies in case the family disown me.

Theres a weird round wooden hut at 2000 meters above sea level, not far from me, that serves as the finishing spot for a mad mountain run. I'm pretty sure it starts near sea level. Cant seem to find a link for it.

Fjordtilfjell is good for those that want to run a constant 7% gradient, for 21 km, mainly on tarmac. I usually ride it on the fixed gear though.

There's a very popular event called Birkebeinet. Which started as a cross country ski event, then became popular as a MTB event in the summer, after which a running event also followed. I'd like to do the triple (singlespeeding the MTB event). The new Ultrarun event they're holding, at 73km, will be a killer. Its heavy running in the Norwegian mountains. Steep climbs, technical decents, tough stoney sections, and loads of energy saping soft stuff. I love it ;)

There are also some cool tri events. I fecking hate swimming more than 1 km though.

YouTube - Mind over Matter - Norseman 2010

I entered Norseman 2010 but didn't get a spot in the lottery. Then a few months later, after I had a place at IMCH and had arranged to go to a friend's wedding on that day, they emailed me saying a spot had become available if I wanted it!! I was super gutted that I couldn't take up the place... Racing norseman is definitely one of my two top goals in tri, it looks awesome!
