<strong>Swimming:</strong> the weather was slightly better (only showers and eventually there would be sun according to the forecast), but the water was still pretty cold. Following the golden rule, I decided to shorten the swimming section to 100 m, as I was getting nervous in the water because of the cold and the stress of the triathlon. This is another aspect I love about sports, how they can be an exercise for mental strength and pushing yourself to do things. As I mentioned, the swim was short so after getting back to land I just went running to dry myself and start with the longest section, cycling.

<strong>Cycling:</strong> remember how I said that I was pretty confident with cycling? Well, I just have to say: never underestimate when a Scandinavian tells you that the path goes only uphill. When he told me that, I assumed that for most of it, it could go uphill, but it can't be that bad right? Needless to say I was absolutely wrong: the path went basically upwards all the time and I was too tired to even think about changing gears. Exhausting is a really light word to describe what the cycling stage was, it was a constant battle in my head, telling myself I can get to the finish line and avoiding to watch my watch, realizing I only did 3 km and I still had 7 to go. This is another reason why I wanted to do this triathlon, figure out my weaknesses to start working on them for next summer. So, even though I was breathless by the end, I did 10 km cycling up a mountain, how insane is that! One year ago I would have never believed it! Now I know I can do it and I know I have to put more effort on it for next season.

<strong>Extra surprise: Northern lights!</strong> Seeing Northern lights in Bergen with the naked eye is difficult due to 2 reasons: it's not that close to the North and it is always cloudy. I was already in bed and exhausted, but my partner told me to go outside and we realized that those were not clouds, they were indeed some really nice green and pink Northern lights! It felt absolutely magical, I felt like in the movie "Brother Bear" (well they were not moving that fast or intensely, but it was definitely a lot given the location of Bergen). They were moving quicker than I thought they could, but still there are some nice shots of them. Eventually the clouds arrived and the show was over, so here you can enjoy some of the pictures of that night :D

<p>We were in Bergen (Norway) for our DIY triathlon but as usual, the weather in Bergen had been rainy and windy for several days. That could be a problem for the swimming section, as the lake was above in the mountains and the water would be close to 10°, which is definitely not warm. We always follow the golden rule, dear readers, safety first. I am not an experienced swimmer in open water, I do not have a wetsuit and I do not know how my body will react to stress + cold water, so I let my ego go and decided that if necessary, the swimming distance will be shorter. Now let me tell you a quick summary of each section:</p>

<p><strong>Running:</strong> so after that cycling stage I was definitely struggling to walk, it took me a couple of minutes to get my legs working properly again. This stage allowed me to enjoy more the views, as I am more used to pushing myself while running, so it has become much easier. One funny thing is that in steep sections, I was faster running that when I was cycling, which I&rsquo;m really proud of, considering how much I have been running in the last year. I thought at first it was 5 km so I was saving some energy, when my partner reminded me it was only 2,5 km I went sprinting and completed 3 km. That last thing was due to a misunderstanding, he was going to wait at the finish line and he went too far, so I run a bit extra for those meters that I didn&rsquo;t swim.</p>

<p><strong>Now the actual cool-down:</strong> enjoying the views in a more relaxing way on the way back (with a beautiful weather, the sun came out after the triathlon was finished), going to a petrol station to get some burgers and getting back to the house to drink some tea and not move anymore. The next day the pain wasn&rsquo;t that bad, I wonder if it&rsquo;s because of a 12 km hike in Hovden we had days before, maybe that was more challenging? Maybe I didn&rsquo;t push myself enough? Maybe my fears were blocking my full physical potential? I think it&rsquo;s a mixture of all of those options, so it&rsquo;s good to know what I have to work on for next year.</p>
