Norseman 2010 - Mind over Matter

A film by Mari Ekkje and Brendan J Doyle.
Norseman is the world's toughest long-distance distance triathlon. It is also the most northern, taking place at the same latitude as Anchorage in Alaska. The race is a travel through some of the most beautiful parts of Norway. It is not a normal circuit-race as it starts in a fjord and finishes at mountain Gaustatoppen at 1,850 meters above sea level. Total ascent is 5,000 meters. The water temperature is normally about 15.5 degrees C, and the air temperature normally ranges from 6 to 28 degrees C through the race day. The first about 160 participants are expected to be allowed to finish at the top of the mountain. The others are allowed to finish at the mountain plateau.

Just a great documentary about this competion. Just watched it over and over and be inspired by the story and the great pictures and the music as well. Just telling the huge challange in endurance without overshot of dramatic or sensationality.

He says about proper food for triathletes...but what is it? Now I'm mostly on low carb diet but I guess it is not enough for such an extreme triathlon as Norseman is.
