August 20, 2015 (Norway) – Check out Noah Hofman’s recent blog as the US Team is in Norway as guests of the upcoming Toppidrettsveka race and part of their training included a fishing expedition. So they donned their sailor’s outfits and headed out to sea… the “Hoff” catches it all on film.
The organizers for next weekend’s Toppidrettsveka race series have organized and paid for all of our lodging, food and transportation while we’re here in Norway. The financial help makes this trip possible for us.
Today, our planned recovery day, they organized a fishing adventure for us on a boat in the fjords. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We cannot say Thank You enough to the organizing committee and to this community for making this experience so special for us.
Here are pictures from today’s adventure:
After our fishing trip, we stopped at one of the huge bridges across the fjord so Andy Newell, Jessie Diggins and Simi Hamilton could jump it.
