gosonja adventure top 10

A point to point triathlon from the chilly wanters of the Hardangerfjord outside Eidfjord all the way to the top of the summit of the Gaustatoppen outside Rjukan. Iron distance in length this triathlon ends with a brutal 5,000+ft climb in the final 10 miles amongst day trippers who have no idea you raced half way across Norway that morning.

One of the hardest things you can do in a single day, and quite the logistical challenge, but well worth the cup of soup you get at the top.

Every endurance athlete should jump out of an airplane at least once in your life. The view is spectacular and it’s a great way to bust through that post race soreness with enough adrenaline to keep you going for days. My favorite jump - Lake Taupo in New Zealand the day after Ironman New Zealand. A little bit of perspective can change a lot.
