The forestry students are known of being keen on sports. So no wonder that 3 forestry students came up with an idea to organize a skiing “competition” where a team had to be on a skiing track for 12 hours. Sounds crazy, doesn’t it? What makes it more crazy was for me to participate in it after no skiing in 10 years! 
So, my friend singed up a team which consisted of our coursemates from forestry course 22. After long begging and fighting against the flue we were able to get 8 eager skiers on track. To make my participation even more painfull for me, I took the turn to start at 8 am. But it wasn’t that bad after all. I skied the whole 1.5 hours without breaks slowly but surely. (I actually didn’t know that you were allowed to stop, e.g. to drink…) My goal was to ski 6 laps (one lap was 1.6 Km) but I did 9! So, a little over 14 Km!! Oh my God! I have never skied that long in a row!
Our team skied 99 laps… Altogether 1942 Km were skied during that day. Amazing… and on a 1.6 Km long track… 
There were two guys who skied the whole 12 hours… Wow. I have really a lot of respect to them. Not only because they skied 12 hours but they managed to do it on a short track! The fastest and slowest lap were also recorded. Two biology students spent 58 minutes in a one lap… :O And the fastest then was around 4.25 minutes… Quite a difference. The fastest lap was skied by one of the guys who skied the whole time… After 8 hours of skiing. Quite well, isn’t it?
Anyway, the day was really fun and hopefully this will a new tradition every winter. And hopefully we’ll have snow to do this in the future…
This is what the team vk22 looked like on the track. And the exchange was like in a real competition…
