I'm thinking of doing the Birkebeiner-Rennet next year. I think of
all those people who put serious effort into training and then the
serious money going there from a far, for this to happen... I think of
RSN's Peter Hoffman...

I wonder how bad it really got.

According to the organizers, they had measured a maximal gust of 62 m/s
(!) on Raudfjellet at the moment when they decided to cancel. Average
wind was up to 20+ m/s at that time.

20+ m/s is about 45-50 mph, 62 m/s is well into hurricane territory,
i.e. 140+ mph.
