The photo on the front page appears to depict a man praying for his life in the pouring cold rain and looks utterly miserable...

Dan can you let the commentators in Norway know that the audio keeps cutting out 50% of the time. It's like 3 seconds on 3 second off, rinse repeat. Video looks awesome.

Video great, but audio 1 sec on / 1 sec off here in New Zealand ):

OK same deal here in Canada. OK it's not me, not my ISP, not even the optical undersea cable to here in iglooland since it is the same in Kiwiland.

Yes Dan, you have a Kiwi and a Canadian complaining about our box seats in the house with our free subscription with ST. But it would not be this place without a proper complaint to kick off the free service.

Same here in Japan.

Getting the same here in the Philippines ;)

Went direct to youtube and saw the comments. Glad you're aware (:

OK, so the undersea cables taking internet to Japan, Kiwiland, Iglooland and the Phillipines all have leaks...OK back to the action. Brad, I thought you were just racing in Iceland last week!!!! That is an event I would love to do. Water does not sound as bad as Norseman and you can just race harder for a half IM in the cold and stay warm. These Viking genetics guys racing Norseman are another breed.

woo hoo! Thanks.

my audio just cleared up - sounds great now.

We have full audio now!!!! Did they just say water temp is 14C...that's not "that bad"

Dan...watching this I am thinking you could run a pretty awesome extreme tri from Vancouver to Whistler and then then run way up the Whistler Summit....that could be a great sea to ski triathlon

2 weekends ago ;) Think this could be one of the biggest temperature swings I have done, well same as last year. 50* race temps in Iceland, to 90* plus humidity here in the Philippines. Iceland is definitely a bucket list race!

Do they not know Jordan is racing, or did he just get classified as a "Semi-Pro"!?!?!?!

Weather looks to be like we had last year. Rain starting by 11 am.

Thanks Dan, Arnold takes amazing photos! Definitely one of the reasons to head out there and race Challenge Iceland! He is really generous with his photos and allowing us to use them as we please.

Any insight on how Jordan's final prep went once getting to Norway?

Yes - they said 14 degrees water and air.

Is everyone else stuck in extreme, extreme slow motion or is it just my local internet that is hosed? Guessing it is their server, but can't tell.

nope. i know he was alive, at least as of yesterday. or the day before. that's the most i can tell you.
