HOW SCARY IS YOUR NEXT RACE?

I LIKE RACES THAT SCARE ME.  Either because of the terrain or distance or lack of experience in a particular discipline...

... but, I'm pretty sure I would never do this one.

Would you?

Before you say yes, let me just point out only 200 applicants get to do it, and this is the first thing you see on their website...

This is not for you.
Nothing personal. But it’s not.
This is for people with fight.
Resilience.
And minds tougher than their bodies.
They’re not interested in being the best.
All they care about is besting themselves.
They’re no nonsense.
No hand-holding. No sugar-coating.
They’re in pursuit of something bigger.
Their team behind them, a smile on their face.
If that sounds good, then maybe we were wrong about you.

... why isn't The Norseman for us?

Well, first off, the idea that it's not kinda hacks me off.  It makes me want to throw off my helmet, chuck my cleats and start swinging.

But, for me, at this time, they are right.

The idea of loading onto a boat off the coast of Norway
to be launched off the back and swim back to shore in frigid water
to then ride 112 miles with 12000' of climbing
then run 26 milies over very rocky terrain...

... it does scare me.

How would you train for a 50 degree water swim?
Which bike, TT or road bike?
Could you even run after?

You know who it doesn't scare?...

... the one and only Jennifer Vollmann.

But, why would it?

She's rad,
she's tough,
she's a mindset sensei.
