Hei (that’s Norwegian),

Three days ago we arrived in Norway focused on the competition at hand, skiing, but the amazing city, local girls, and lack of sunshine soon turned our heads. We are staying in Trondheim, Norway, a college city centered in the Trondheimsfjorden. Skiing the course for the first time only further excited us to race. Unfortunately, there’s no natural snow, yet we still have an amazing man-made loop to ski on. The hills, sharp corners, and fast snow should yield a fun sprint under the lights; however, none of the other teams have shown up so we aren’t sure what to expect.

Our hotel is right in downtown Trondheim. The team has been exploring. We found a local rec center where there were 6 games of team handball being played. It kind of looks like lacrosse meets basketball. Maybe we'll play after the races. There was also floor hockey going on. Norwegians are super active and healthy!
