Hymn to Norwegian men

I guess I have to make up for having been too harsh to norwegian men. Last saturday, they showed their real qualities, and manhood. Fathers were pulling sledges with their babies on cross-country-skis, and one even had his little daughter on his shoulders (with her skis on) while going down-hill. Another one waited patiently until his quite slow girlfriend had caught up with him. They were even overtaking me in a nice and polite way, without making me fall. Great. Noble men. On skis definitely :-D Good that there is no "beer sale" out in the countryside!!!!

Yes, my first cross-country trip in 2007 and alone, was quite a success. Only one dramatic fall - but I missed my usual company... Where was Team Atomic and Team Rossignol?!?! I'm telling you, we have to reopen the competition, my skills have improved quite a bit, and I feel Team Atomic might make it this time :-) Definitely in the discipline of ost spectacular falls!!!!
