Participated in the record attempt by Tromsø Cykleklubb to break the cycling record between Finnsnes and Tromsø (156 km). The old record was 3:59:08. Early on I found out that my average heartrate (87 %) was way to high, and there was no way I was going to last for 4 hours.

I was also worried about the hills around Heia (240 msl). The hills turned out to be no problem, but I had big problems being able to eat and drink in an average speed of speed (41-42 km/h). So when we reached Nordkjosbotn I bonked and lost the pack on flat ground. Game over!

However the rest of the gang (10 out of 18) managed to break the record and the new record is now 3.55.06. I am really impressed by these people.

Looks like it's time to do more speed workouts!
