Why you might love it

The race that spawned the extreme-triathlon genre, with a finish so far up a mountain that it feels like an expedition.

Getting ready
Preparation
A point-to-point iron-distance triathlon that starts with a jump from a ferry into Hardangerfjord and finishes near the summit of Gaustatoppen, with an ascent-heavy bike and mountain run.
