From Potato Chip to Ironman

My quest towards the Norseman Triathlon (with some other tidbits thrown in for good measure).

I’d like to say that the best bread that I’ve ever had comes from Romsøe’s Konditori in Stavanger - but I can’t. They may have the best bread, it’s just that they kicked me out before I could find out. Maybe that’s a bit harsh. When it was my turn at the counter (to buy skoleboller for my kids), they told me that they were closed (it was 1 minute after 4 after all). It seems like an odd way to run a business given that there were still buns to be sold and a line of people waiting to buy them. Oh well, I’ll just have to be content with sharing the best recipe that I’ve found for bread (not that I can eat it myself). Anyway, here’s how to make the easiest, prettiest, and (in my opinion) best-tasting bread out there. Just go to,

Now what about this Norseman Ironman thing? I haven’t forgotten. I’m just a bit sick right now. I’ve been a fair bit of riding lately but, must admit, I haven’t been out running in a few days. The marathon is going to kill me - that’s pretty clear. I’m aiming for something on the order of 7 hours. Only 5 hours slower than the winning Olympic marathon time today
