More Nordsjørittet News
Edit: Cool! I found my halfway and finish videos here. A guy passed me about 100m from the finish, and I was like f$#@ that, and passed him on the finish line. For the finish video, click on "Se Malvideo" I'm wearing a white long-sleeved t-shirt and red helmet.
A Norwegian newspaper has a series of articles, photos and videos from the North Sea Race. There's a video of each rider halfway through the race and at the finish!! I can't see it from here at work though. To see it, click here and search for my name.

Articles (in Norwegian):
65 Injured In North Sea Race - The article says this is good because it's less than 1% of the 7000 riders, and how out of 637000 kilometers, 65 injuries isn't too bad. Nothing overly serious it says - just scrapes, bruises, cuts, and about 20 with broken fingers, arms, shoulders, or ribs, in addition to one concussion (my boss, it turns out, destroyed his face. He spent Saturday in the hospital).,
The Wind and the Breeze - Gusts of up to 15m/s (54km/h!!!!!) caused even elite riders to come in half an hour later than expected. The average was 10-12m/s (36-43 km/h headwind! Holy crap!)
They also speak about all the teams riding together and how this was necessary to draft due to the strong wind. I probably should have drafted too. Oops.
