Norway the nordic nirvana

Yesterday was a little blurry! We got to bed from our 30+ hour travel "day" at 3:15am. Lucy made a quick trip grocery shopping as we still had her buddy Lexie's car, which she kindly parked at the train station so we could get to our AIRbnb.

After a breakfast of scrambled eggs and tortillas, we unpacked, and relaxed until the afternoon and our first ski. Sjusjoen is the Mecca of cross country skiing. I did a nice 11k easy workout on the middle - rolling - portion of the Birken race course. Superb tracks; great views; a host of nordic true believers, and my only disappointment was that the Kafe was closed when I finished.

Truly an amazing place with hundreds - maybe thousands - of well groomed trails.
