From Africa to the Arctic Circle

Eli 23.9 was in Zambia less than two weeks ago. Today he's in Svolvær, Norway, for the upcoming trail race in the Lofoten Islands. He's running the 20k race, which will be challenging, given the elevation changes and trail, but his friend is attempting the 100-miler (ill-advised).

Fun fact about Lofoten: it's climate is extremely mild for its coordinates because of its proximity to the Gulf Stream. The average high in July is a balmy 60F. 

It's also extraordinarily beautiful, and I hope to have some pictures for you from Eli next week.
