I was sleep-deprived, unprepared and stressed out when hitting … Fortsett å lese Race report – Lofoten Triathlon 2019
It`s not about winning
Norseman was the A-race this year and my goal was to win. At least that was what I said to my sponsors and everyone else. In that, I failed. I didn’t win.

10 % more power or 10 % more aero?
More power or better aerodynamic? This is my thought about this existential question. Would you rather increase your FTP with 10 % or reduce your aerodynamic drag with 10 %?

Halv-Fet er en utrolig hyggelig konkurranse og meget godt organisert til tross for en noe spartansk organsisasjon.
