Expedition Amundsen complete in 39hours 50mins! Delighted to cross the finish line with Steffen after months of planning and training.
It’s definitely up there as one of the toughest challenges yet, not only is the route extremely challenging but the cold weather and self-sufficiency means you can’t relax for one minute. It has so many steep climbs especially in the first 50km that our average speed was just 2km/hr!
A final 8 hour push this morning saw us break the 40 hour mark. Safe to say I don’t want to see a pulk for some time.
Thanks for all the well wishes, much appreciated...Will put a race report together when I process the last few crazy days!

On route to the start of Expedition Amundsen with my German teammate Steffen. We will ski 100kms across the Hardangervidda region of Norway, hoping to finish sometime tomorrow night (weather permitting!)
Sledges are packed with supplies and weigh 50kg each, they must weigh 40kg at the finish so with fuel and food consumption they should be okay.
This isn’t my usual race scene and hauling 3/4 of my body weigh around will be fun..not to mention my complete lack of skiing! But Steffen has vast experience and will keep me right.
We set off at 12GMT, track the race below, number #148!
