IRONMAN
Ironman 70.3 Norway 2012 was the first official Ironman event in Scandinavia. The first ever IRON-
MAN 70.3 Norway race was a very special event. A hot 1900 m swim in “Skeisvatnet”, both T1 and T2
transition on artificial surfaces, just 50 meters from the water. One of the worlds most beautiful and
spectatcular 90k bike race along the coastline of western Norway. A running route that takes athletes
through Haugesund city center 4 times before they cross the finish line at the quayside. An amaz-
ing crowd of spectators to cheer you on all along the cycle track from Sveio in the north to the south
Vormedal. An event and an atmosphere you rarely experience. Or like our female pros, Mary Beth Ellis,
who won the womens race said: “ This was the best 70.3 event I have ever done”
