The trail is 18 kilometers long back and forth, with uneven and steep terrain. For almost everyone, the same feat usually takes somewhere between 10 and 14 hours.
How have you celebrated?
Yes, it was bed rest. I was quite tired afterwards. I had a beer and then it was early to bed. Today I'm a bit sore, says Erik Sifvert on the phone.
In addition to training a bit more and resting up, Erik Sifvert made sure the weather was fairly good before the record attempt.
It was maybe around 8 degrees down by the mountain station and then it snowed a little at the top so it was probably around zero degrees, but I had a t-shirt and shorts all the way anyway.
