Rune Høydahl the winner of NXTRI

I’m allmost in a coma. I have been involved in arranging the HP Norseman Xtreme Triathlon (www.nxtri.com). Three days without sleep and my weight has dropped 4 kg (that’s good).

But it was worth it just to see the mountainbiker Rune Høydahl totally dominating on the bike leg and finishing with the best run as well. Time: 01:12:44; 05:54:12; 04:23:12; total time 11:30:08. Could have been interesting to see what he could do on a more horisontal course!

And what made it perfect was to witness the extremly charming female winner Trude Andersen. She was smiling all the way to the top and impressed everyone with a very good run. She was in fantastic shape when I saw her attacking the mountain on the last 4,7 K after a long day. She had the eight best time with 01:12:10; 07:09:41; 04:53:29; total time 13:15:20.

Here is more from the race, for those of you who understand german

The most impressive thing: rune started as a mountainbike downhiller where he won world cups, then he switched to mtb cross country where he won WC´s, too. Then he became a mtb-marathoner. And now this! Unbelievable.
