By the time I arrived in Norway last winter all of the lakes were covered in snow, so this time around I&#8217;m trying to keep a close eye on the lakes and as soon as they&#8217;re frozen I&#8217;ll be skating. I knew there wouldn&#8217;t be enough to skate on today, but I decided to combine running with inspection of potential skating spots. Unfortunately the places I&#8217;d like to skate are quite a long way from my home. So I ran 9 km uphill to a lake called Kringlevann. As expected, it only had a slither of ice on the top, maybe 10 mm at most. A few more stiff frosts and it should be skateable though. This was also the longest distance I&#8217;ve ever run in my life at 19 km for the full round trip. It wasn&#8217;t exactly a super fast run at 2 hours and 30 minutes, but I&#8217;m happy to have managed the full distance without collapsing part way.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5275\" style=\"width: 520px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ryan.hellyer.kiwi\/2012\/11\/10\/running-to-kringlevann\/on-way-to-kringlevann1\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5275\" src=\"https:\/\/ryan.hellyer.kiwi\/files\/2012\/11\/on-way-to-kringlevann1-510x680.avif\" alt=\"\" title=\"On way to Kringlevann\" width=\"510\" height=\"680\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wordpress.hellyer.kiwi\/ryanhellyer\/files\/2012\/11\/on-way-to-kringlevann1-510x680.avif 510w, https:\/\/wordpress.hellyer.kiwi\/ryanhellyer\/files\/2012\/11\/on-way-to-kringlevann1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wordpress.hellyer.kiwi\/ryanhellyer\/files\/2012\/11\/on-way-to-kringlevann1-675x900.avif 675w, https:\/\/wordpress.hellyer.kiwi\/ryanhellyer\/files\/2012\/11\/on-way-to-kringlevann1-250x333.avif 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5275\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The track on the way up the hill<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ryan.hellyer.kiwi\/2012\/11\/10\/running-to-kringlevann\/kringlevann2\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ryan.hellyer.kiwi\/files\/2012\/11\/kringlevann2-510x680.avif\" alt=\"\" title=\"Kringlevann at beginning of winter\" width=\"510\" height=\"680\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5274\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wordpress.hellyer.kiwi\/ryanhellyer\/files\/2012\/11\/kringlevann2-510x680.avif 510w, https:\/\/wordpress.hellyer.kiwi\/ryanhellyer\/files\/2012\/11\/kringlevann2.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wordpress.hellyer.kiwi\/ryanhellyer\/files\/2012\/11\/kringlevann2-675x900.avif 675w, https:\/\/wordpress.hellyer.kiwi\/ryanhellyer\/files\/2012\/11\/kringlevann2-250x333.avif 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ryan.hellyer.kiwi\/2012\/11\/10\/running-to-kringlevann\/kringlevann1\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ryan.hellyer.kiwi\/files\/2012\/11\/kringlevann1-510x680.avif\" alt=\"\" title=\"Kringlevann at beginning of winter\" width=\"510\" height=\"680\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wordpress.hellyer.kiwi\/ryanhellyer\/files\/2012\/11\/kringlevann1-510x680.avif 510w, https:\/\/wordpress.hellyer.kiwi\/ryanhellyer\/files\/2012\/11\/kringlevann1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wordpress.hellyer.kiwi\/ryanhellyer\/files\/2012\/11\/kringlevann1-675x900.avif 675w, https:\/\/wordpress.hellyer.kiwi\/ryanhellyer\/files\/2012\/11\/kringlevann1-250x333.avif 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of my favourite hobbies in New Zealand was always finding ice to skate on come the winter months.
