00:02 This is not for you.
00:07 This is for people with fight, resilience,
00:11 and minds tougher than their bodies.
00:13 All they care about is besting themselves.
00:18 They're in pursuit of something bigger.
00:20 - When you say Norseman, in Norway,
00:27 everyone knows what it is.
00:29 (screaming)
00:32 I think you have to be wired a bit differently
00:34 to enter events like this.
00:36 The masochist in me has definitely come out.
00:38 - 10 or 12 years ago, if you had said Norseman,
00:42 I would just shake my head and say, "Are you crazy?"
00:45 I wanted to do the impossible challenge,
00:47 and that was finishing the world's toughest triathlon.
00:59 It's a 3.8 kilometer swim.
01:01 Then it's a 180 kilometer bike segment,
01:06 and the marathon run, 42.2 kilometers.
01:10 You have three major climbs.
01:13 That's a massive mountain in front of you.
01:16 That can be quite devastating.
01:18 You are crossing through four climate zones.
01:22 On a bad day, you get a headwind,
01:25 fog, close to freezing temperatures.
01:28 This is an inner journey.
01:30 - Oh man, it's gonna be tough.
01:32 I think it's gonna be a shutdown in my whole body.
01:35 - I can't quit.
01:36 I'm gonna get to that finish line no matter what.
01:38 (screaming)
01:41 - I think I'm gonna collapse.
