 That's where we're going up there behind that little mountain there cyclists in January That's hardcore. We are heading into the wild To go skiing cross-country skiing. That's on the plan today. It's beautiful here very beautiful as you can see and we're heading out of town and sort of 20-minute drive into You know like a national park, I guess probably it is and there's hundreds of miles of Tracks everywhere weather is kind of rough. I the forecast said it was gonna stop snowing and the Sun was gonna peak out But it's just snowing and windy and Kind of rough. I I hope it's gonna stop snowing lots of cars coming in and out You don't see them because every time there's a car I take down my phone to hold both hands on the steering wheel Let's see now at the parking lot how the how the situation is. It's very popular these days to go skiing here in Norway Okay, not too bad. I think I'll just park here just ate a banana and I have a Protein shake water and another banana in there for when I get back and Think I'm gonna get out there It's beautiful, but it's kind of a little bit more intense than I would have preferred wind and snow It's nice. It's not my thing. So in terms of clothing. I have a netting shirt underneath and Then another long sleeve over there synthetic then I have this windstopper vest a jacket and here's a Buff there and then I'm gonna put another buff over the top and around like so Looking great and Then the hat when you go skiing you have to put on this It's not what wax because wax makes it glide. I Don't know what it's called in English. English. I guess maybe it is called wax actually and You put it here in the middle part of the ski Where you know when you push down to push off that comes in contact with the snow and gives you some extra grip So this is this is for grip. Okay, and usually you would get glide on the other parts of the ski To get better glide, but I don't have that. I I have horrible glide actually on these keys, but Like so and then you take this cork thing you spread it out like this and skiing at the same time is Ridiculously difficult have to hold both Hold in one hand And I have to take off my glove in order to handle the phone That's kind of difficult Norwegian surroundings. I'll throw in some footage from my last ski Fashioned last week when we had that it was sunny weather really amazing But it's still pretty magical, I would say check it out Adventure I'm struggling as I expected to hold my heart rate low though It's probably up at the 170 180s, which is extremely high Even though I'm trying to take it easy And yeah, my hand It's probably starting to freeze now. So I'm gonna put away the phone put on the glove and Focus on the skiing. I'll catch you guys a little later We're on our way back Turn out to be like a 12k loop or something like that Turns out the weather Wasn't that bad On the hills here. I'm just walking it just Taking it easy just walking up the hill basically And you know, I it's kind of back to the roots for me with with with skiing because Not only my roots as a Norwegian because it's a huge part of Norwegian culture but also back to my own personal roots because as I When I was a kid, I actually did go skiing quite a lot. So I feel like I got it, you know, I have Skills in my body somewhere and they're just slowly coming out now as I'm getting used to it more And I also think my my high heart rate is not just because of poor technical skills It's also because the skis have horrible glide. By the way, I run a lot here in the summer. So I'll put a link to to one of my running videos from this this area We made it Turn out pretty nice. Yeah, one and a half hour approximately 12 11 and a half kilometers Pretty slow, but faster than last time. So this is apple juice Mixed with the soy protein pee protein Glycine leucine and lysine.
