Lofoten Ultra-Trail (pictures)
These were all taken from the course:
Eli 23.10 finished the 24k race in five hours (I can't remember the exact time). There were two climbs of over 3,000 feet, snow up to his knees in places, treacherous terrain in general, and he loved it all.
An interesting data point he shared: his threshold heart rate is 190 (the rate beyond which lactic acid starts to form). One, it's ridiculous that his threshold is so high, but also, his heart rate was at 188 for an hour and fourteen minutes of the race. Hard, in other words.
Norway is on my bucket list, and I hope we go together someday.
