According to Wikipedia, Holmenkollstafetten is the biggest relay race in the world. This year, it is said that there were almost 40k people running around the around the city of Oslo. It was an interesting experience to be one of these people. Well, I guess this was my first contribution to SINTEF.

I was actually worried a bit before about whether I could finish the 1100 meters, a uphill slope with a 50-meters vertical drop. That was almost like climbing 15 floors, running (there are even some legs much worse than this one: such as 1700 meters with 100 meter drop). So, it was quite a surprise to me to know that I was finally ranked 733 out of 1500 people running Leg 2.
