Karlstad Multisport, Racereport (Utmaningen)

It was that time of the year again to do the yearly competition in Multisport. Multisport is a sport that you do several sports in one competition, standard is to always have running, bikeing and canoeing. Normaly you do Multisport for several days but this is sprint so its only 4h of really good exercise :)

This year it was rogaining as competition style.  

Rogaining is a long distance navigation sport where you compete in teams of 2-5 persons.

In a fixed amount of time (originally 24 hours) the teams shall visit as many controls as possible. The controls have different score points depending on distance, terrain roughness and navigation difficulty.

The team that collects the highest score wins. If more than one team have the same score, the team with the shortest time wins. If a team exceeds the maximum time, the score will be reduced.

This type of competition suites well to all kind of people because you can choose your level of ambition. An important part of the competiotion is to plan your route optimally according to your own capacity.

The start and finish point is same.

This time we was in good shape, Anders had done some Swimrun race with good results earlier this summer and i have most been training uphill intervalls. We knew if we did everything right it would go a long way.

At the start.  

Me and Anders making a plan for the race.

One part of the race was to transport you self on madrass to collect points. We choosed a different variation were one of us running at the side instead of both was on the madrass.

Me on the madrass.

Team Icebreaker in action. Team Icebreaker is the new name on our team me and Anders have.

In the start after this we decided to only be one on the madrass.

For me Bikeing part is the most fun.

In the Goal it was just in time with 3 min margins we could reach the goal. Thank you Anders!

At the Podium we ended up on second place. It has been a goal for us to be on the podium in this race.
