Long Run Arboretum ; Places to Ski, Norway

It's been a few weeks since the last long run. Illness the main culprit. Today 90 minutes in the Arboretum, another late run with Bella to loosen up.

French TV have been showing all the XC ski races from the World Cup in Lillehammer, Norway. It's amazing that ski technique has changed so little in the last 20 years. All the races have been exciting. The memories from my visit in February 1996 are still strong.

A short resume of the trip: Land in Oslo, two days skiing there in the Holmenkollen and near and on the frozen lake Sognsvann. Train north to Gjovik for training camp. Bus to Hamar and training camp at Gasbu with race. Bus to Lillehammer for training and racing camp. World Ski Orienteering Championships in Lillehammer. Train south to Oslo for flight home. A trip of around three weeks.

Highlights many including awesome skiing and a bobsled ride at Hafjell after making friends with the Swedish team. It was my third trip to Scandinavia, all for orienteering competition and my only winter visit. Some images in no particular order.
