So up the road from the hospital is a place called Shrinager Hill, and it is some hill.
There are some 500+ steps, and the goal of the Tansen Challenge is to make it up and down 3 times as fast as you can. The previous record was 14 some minutes, but after doing one up and down in training, I figured that record was just about untouchable. Not only was the run up brutal and steep, but coming down was tricky with some loose gravel and broken steps.
The race was fun and well organized, the kids did one up and down, and my Dad participated in the "geriatric" category.
I managed a 13:04 and won an awesome Norway t-shirt.
Even the goats climbed Shrinager:
you set the record! that's always fun good job marten
