Vasaloppet!

We woke up to see the start of the Vasaloppet in Dalarna, Sweden. Vasaloppet is one of the world's longest ski-runs (90 km /56 miles). 15.000 people participate in the main event race every year. This year, the snow was perfect for high speed racing, and the winner was able to complete the entire distance in 3 h 51 m! Incidentally, that is only about one and a half hour more than what it took for Kim's brother to finish a little over one quarter of the race (the distance Sälen-Mångsbodarna) in Friday's relay version of Vasaloppet. The video above shows some clips from the start of the race in 2009.
