The Mountains of Lillehammer

Yesterday I arrived back from the Madsens cottage in Lillehammer, which is up in the mountains. It was a really good time. Their cabin runs on solar and wind energy. It was really cool. We stayed up late playing cards and talking, woke up late everyday, ate a lot (a ton), and trained everyday. It was nice being away from things like the internet. I actually lost track of what day it was at one point.

Also, we got to rollerski a few times at this amazing rollerski and biathlon facility right near our cottage. The loop we skied was 4.3k and there was a 30 point world class biathlon range with more paved space than you could ever imagine. I thought Fort Kent was good but this took it to a whole new level.

Here are some pictures I took of the last 5 days or so.


A rainbow I saw from the house

The sheep started following me...


Marianne is a skilled photographer


Petter Northug is even on the bread here... Skibrødet means ski bread
