A year ago, I set out to educate myself in nutrition and exercise, and to change some things around about my health to the positive (reasonably obese and well fed on beer and sloppy food), and this weekend I just had the first small mark of achievement for the effort.
This weekend the yearly Montebello ride (bicycle) took place in Sande, where 1000 bikers including the professionals doing Norway Cup set out into the woods, over the mountain on dirt track, a run that started the first 13 kilometers with a 900 meter climb before mixed terrain and wicked downhills.
I finished the 42 kilometer fitness class at around average time in my group, and was received at the finish line by commentators, cheering people and kids who were running about, giving the bikers chocolate milk and bananas.
Cool memory brick for a later time, as well as a encouragement to do the Montebello triple which is on the same sort of track, only then by running and skiing.
Nice event, it has my recommendation and stamp of approval :)
(even though I was half dead on the finish line
