Jotunheimen, “the home of the giants,” is a giant expanse of tree-less mountains just northwest of Beitostølen. It was believed that the Norse giant gods gathered in this place to wreak havoc on mankind. To me, it looks like a golf course fit for giants, with large boulders strewn everywhere like golf balls. There are small ice covered ponds scattered like sand pits, too.

Because most of my training during the early part of this training camp is supposed to be easy, I decided to return to the mountains for one last adventure before getting into “regular” training.
