Due to a lot of snow in the mountains and a lot of cold water coming into the fjord, the Norseman organizers were forced to shortened the swim. They could not find any spots where a full distance swim could take place. Including the spot they used in 2011 when they added 20k to the bike leg to get a full 3.8k swim.

The feedback I have gotten is that the fjord is cold.
The weather on top of the first climb will be around 0C tomorrow morning. That will be fun. Hopefully not too much ice on the road.
