Travel day - flight to Oslo on points and then afternoon in Oslo before bus home to Gtbg and back to work tomorrow :-(

Back in Bergen and last evening with the rents before everyone heads their separate ways. Early evening spent wandering around Bergen (finding a reasonably priced place to eat) and taking it all in before heading back to Sweden tomorrow. Short evening swim in the hotel pool before it closed.

The Hurtigruten docked in Trondheim at 6:30 in the morning. We were off the boat just before 7. The tour director on the boat managed to print off the mens and womens sprint final - Jason and I took the mens, Dad wanted to walk the womens. The scale was a bit off as we could only print single A4's but it worked well enough. Had to be careful with the map though because the paper was a bit thin. Good thing it didn't really rain!

We did not go all out, but took the course at a tempo run pace. Not completely awake yet when we started - I made a few bad route choices, but once we got to point 5, things went well. The smaller map made seeing some of the small entrance passage-ways a bit hard to see, and then a few of them were closed (they must of had them specially opened for the races, as they were private courtyards. This messed up a few route choices, but nevermind. Really fun course. The only thing I can think of to improve the course would be to place the control at the rock climbing wall (#18 I think for both the men and the women), 1/3rd of the way up the wall, just to make it a bit more fun :-) !

After Jase and I finished, we ran to the nearby Camel Cafe to grab some Lattes, and then walked the men's course backwards to eventually meet up with dad. Took a short little jaunt around the rock climbing wall - weeee - and then up to the fort and then back into town. Really nice morning! Made it back to the boat just before the rain came.

Upper body and core

We docked just as we were finishing our workout, so did a little cool down in the small town we docked at - forget which one it was!

On the boat!

Short hike up into the hills surrounding Hammerfest while we are docked there. Of course, it rains on us, but this is still a welcome relief after a very rough night through a storm with 32 m/s winds and 30+ foot waves. Twas a bumpy night by all means!
