Training and Preparation
I will be spending approximately 4-6 weeks in Norway prior to refresh my skills.
First up, a few weeks in Oslo to home in on my Cross Country skiing ability (presently: inability).
I’'ll then head to Finse, situated beneath an ice cap in Norway to do field training with polar guides for a few weeks. The climate and conditions there will be somewhat similar to what I’ll face in Greenland.
This was also the location of polar greats of Amundsen, Scott and Shackleton in their 20th century Antarctic expedition preparations!
MEET TERRY!
Closer to home, I am training several hours per day doing a wide variety of cardiovascular and strength training, including tyre pulling on the sand.
I’ve become good mates with my training partner Terry - a Toyo open country 4x4 tyre! Like me, Terry enjoy long walks along the beach at sunset.
