Hårek Stranheim, General Manager of Norseman, teamed up with Arild Tveiten at a beach in Oslo in Norway.
Arild is the Sports Director and Head Coach at Norwegian Triathlon Federation and he is now looking
forward to getting his athletes back from the long distance circus after this weekend.

There is no athlete that comes to Norseman without already having a long journey of training and hard work behind them. When the media team sat down with 26-year-old Scottish athlete Eilidh Prise ahead of the 2022 race though, we knew we had found someone special. Instead of following a training plan she goes on ‘adventures’… Instead of a coach driving her, it’s her pure love of the mountains that spurs her on. Instead of putting on a steely race face, she draws energy from cheering and laughing along with her supporters.

Of course on race day we saw just how magical this approach could be – but for now, it was our opportunity to chat how it felt to be a double-record-holder at Celtman – and just how excited she was about facing the mighty mountains here in Norway.

It was cold and windy, and warm and cozy. You would expect no less of Norseman. So this is a short recap of the race, seen through the eyes of our Safety Director. 

Raw emotions, tough conditions and an incredible new course record at Norseman 2022

From early morning to late night. We will be there all day on race day.

During the course of my Ph.D. journey, I have done several studies. Three of them I included in my Ph.D. thesis. I have learned several lessons. In the following, I will focus on some of the Norseman-related learning points of my thesis.
