I´ve finally decided the next step, the next huge step towards my biggest dream... I am going to Nepal! Initially my plan was to wait until next year, and climb Mont Blanc this year, but things changed, and 24th October I´ll be in my way. It is very hard to believe... I´ve said to myself and people around me if I ever go there, to see the magical Himalayas I´ll never come back home... so I am very excited on my feelings, how will it be to see it all, to meet the culture and people and of course how will it be to climb in this mountains? It´s almost as I do not want to tell myself it is real, in case it isn´t...
Well, I´m not only going to watch, I am there to climb Island Peak, 6189m. A different type of climb, harder I presume, but oh so fantastic. I travel with Topas once again, and hope for a wonderful group of fellow climbers. In addition to climbing Island Peak, we are going to experience Nepal, and... to go very near the most beautiful mountain I´ve ever seen, or I haven´t seen it in real life yet, only on photos, youtube and movies... it´s Ama Dablam... this magnificent mountain is part of my big dream, and I hope and wish to sometime stand on top...
But, before I can even focus on Island peak, I have some other things to do...
The first thing is Nordsjørittet, a 90km cycling competition along the north sea coast. This will be my 5th time participating, and I hope I can finally beat my goal which is below 4 hours. It all comes down to the wind, and this stretch it known for not being nice to it´s visitors. I pray for southern wind, and cloudy skies with no rain :)
Next I´m going to Peru with my Dad and his wife to Machu Picchu, and the Inka trails. This will be a fantastic trip, and I promise you a thorough update when we come back :)
After that is a nightmare.. I´m doing a full marathon here in my home town; Stavanger. I am not sure what I feel about that... but somehow I signed up and now I am to proud, or strict to myself is maybe a better word?... to not do it. So I need to run run and run some more to be ready. I do not have goal, only to finish. It´s 30th August, so hopefully I´ll be ready :)
I hope you´ll stick with me to see how all of this are turning out :)
Thank you for following!
