Norwegian Dreaming
On Thursday evening, the Nordic ski team here hosted their first 5k running time trial. We gathered at Sognsvann and warmed up together before setting out. The main difference between this and any 5k I've done before was that there was a net 637 ft. elevation gain, which it turns out makes things much harder. It did, however, feel good to be done, and I am excited for another go at it next month and see if I can do better!
