5x5 minute 400w sweet spot

Highish speed over to Joakim's

The rough stuff, random hills, close misses on KOMs and a massive sprint PB.

Several people emphatically recommended that climb Blåhø whilst I was in the area. It didn't disappoint.

It's rated (by far) as the most difficult climb in  Norway by Climbfinder. Almost twice as hard as Alpe D'Huez apparently. 

It was certainly tough. The first 6-7km averaged 12%, and then it leveled out a bit as the route ran along the ridge/plateau. Hard to keep the power output up. The final pitch was very steep and quite rough. 

Amusingly, Climbfinder reckons it's doable on a road bike. Absolutely not a chance!

Very proud to take 9th overall (and highest power output) on Norway's toughest climb.
