Skaala Oop Mountain Race - Felt a real epic. After driving North from Stavanger for 12 hours, With Jon D, Jez and Gav with lots and lots of photo stops for unbeleavible waterfall, surge glaciers, ffords etc, it was the start of 1800m climb 8km race. steepest event in world hill running series,

Started off with no energy after not running for whole week. After clmbing to 1000m managed to catch Jez and ran together. Pulled away on scramble, ice and snow at the top. 14 degrees at bottom and minus 2 at top -

JD was world class, 4th just 1 min down on Kenyan winner and world hill running champion John Wyatt.

Inspiring event.
