7-fjellsturen 2010

For the third time, I took the so called “7-fjellsturen“, the hike of the 7 mountains of Bergen in one day. I am very proud to say that I made in 10 hours and 40 minutes, 2 hours and 28 minutes less than my previous result.

The hike was too long even for Sports Tracker, which crashed after 8 hours. This means that I only have incomplete and maybe corrupted data of my hike. :( The firm developing this software will for sure hear from me… :)

Special thanks to Synnøve, who shared with me all the editions. Without her, I would have never managed this result. ;)

Update 6 June 2010

It looks like the Sports Tracker data of my hike is not corrupted. It is only incomplete since I started the tracking again only half-hour after Sports Tracker crashed. :)

7-fjellsturen

There is a town in the world where once every year almost 5000 people are waking up with only one desire: climb up 7 mountains before the day is over. The name of this town? Bergen.

I was one of those crazy people who managed to finish the so called “7-fjellsturen”. My equipment was just a backpack with a camera, a jacket, a bottle of water, and some sandwiches, but what I needed the most was a lot of motivation and adrenaline.

I started at 9:00 and finished at 23:00, walking for about 35Km and going up for about 2400m in total.

I am exhausted, stiff, and aching, but it was worth to do it. The weather was perfect, with clear sky and mild temperature. I never enjoyed the nature that much, and at the end of the day I really felt part of it. Now I am left with a diploma, a very exclusive t-shirt, and a lot of good memories…

I want to thank Synnøve, for being the best company I could desire for this trip, and Francesca, for giving me a bar of chocolate when I needed sugars to go on.
