Nordic Chase 2026 - shared 11/100

Very long bike race with Axel Apoy . I would dare saying we got close to a perfect execution. Pacing, eating, hydration and so on worked so well that we never had to stop due to feeling awful or needing a nap. Judging from some of the faces of the others at night, we were doing way better and had a bit more fun (?). The goal was to keep as low power as possible, and avoid going above 150W for extended periods. This was only possible due to incredible luck with the wind. We even got to celebrate midsummer eve with drunk teenagers at McDonaldโ€™s after midnight. First bike race Iโ€™ve ever done (any category), will hopefully not do it again. It was great though. โ›ฐ๏ธ Kulmilebakke (28 m) | ๐ŸŒ summitbag.com
