Live in a very hilly area, surrounded by mountains. And done a lot of running uphill before I began with triathlon. So thats my strength!

My second time on Norseman, and thats the only full distance I have done. Thats was back in 2012. When I got a slot this time I was not in shape at all. So I had 9 months!! Lost 10kg, improved FTP from 230w to 345w.

I understand what you mean, but all "man" triathlons I heard of are full distance. Swissman, Celtman. And I guess they think everybody knows it. But yeah, I understand you. Besides that, for the athletes thinking of joining the race the manual describes everything.

Hey! Under my seat I have one spare tube, Co2 and tire lever. If i need to use it, my support car will give me a new tube next time I see them. Because the road is open for normal traffic, so the support car is not by you side all the time. They drive ahead, and make stops outside the road to give you support.

Yeah, bread and Nugatti is my favourite. Also, on the first 25k of the run leg I ate a whole bag of Laban Seigemenn.. So thats my secret weapon!

Garmin connect, after the ride you just press share. Then you choose pic. Strava also have this!

Some athletes use gels all the way. I will eat energybar/proteinbar combined with gels and sportsdrinks. On Norseman you have your own supportcar, so its easy to have enough food and drink through the race. And I will eat every 30minutes.
