It’s the middle of September and I must say that this year was pretty much a write-off in terms of trying to keep in shape. After not getting into the 2010 Norseman I was a bit depressed and, as a result, did very little exercise. I made up some good excuses but now wish that I had done a bit more. I did, at least, attend Norseman 2010 but only as a support person. This, in itself, was a great experience which is possibly even more difficult than competing in the event. Trying to be a the right place at the right time while navigating mountain roads with lots of traffic takes a toll and makes for a long, stressful day. Next year, if all goes well, I’ll compete. Anything to avoid the challenge of driving support again.
Entry for the 2011 event opens on October 18th and runs for a period of one week. There will be roughly 200 chosen ones, and I hope to be one of them. With my learnings from the past two years, I hope to go back to Eidfjord in better shape and just have a great time. I’ll be a bit more conscious of my time and drink a lot less fluid along the way. I’ll enjoy the scenery and the weather regardless of what it brings and, most importantly, I’ll smile for each of the 226km that I do that day.
Only 11 months left…
