To say it was cold is an understatement. Pouring rain and between 3-6 degrees made it a chilling experience. Frozen to the bone - could not feel my legs below the knees half of the race... BUT what a feeling coming down to the Håkonshall arena and crossing the finish line!!! Took 1 hour with 28 degrees on the car heater and seat heater on 5 (!) before I got core temperature back...
Just to illustrate how cold it was - I had 68 Kpm top speed down from the moutain, that is 18.6 m/s (= fresh gale) . According to this table with 5 degrees, the wind chill factor would be equal to -11 degrees !!!
 
Before the race - all clean and mostly dry After the finish, a tad bit colder and wetter :-D

Unlike last year, with several slow rounds while Lance Armstrong waved to the crowd, this year was full speed from the start. Each lap taking approx 1 min it was fast! Race went on for 1 hour, then 5 more laps. Thor Hushovd tried a break away several laps before the finish, as he was uncertain about his sprint form and feared Edvald (who has beaten him several times during this years Tour de France). But he was reeled in and Andy Schleck and Edvald did a counter attack just two laps from the finish...let's just say, Andy never had a chance! Congratulations Edvald!
No one could beat the man with the yellow shoes
Better luck next time Thor!
