Visste du att din kropp bara f\u00e5r h\u00e4lften s\u00e5 mycket syre p\u00e5 extrema h\u00f6jder? Och du kommer beh\u00f6va mycket av det n\u00e4r du ska n\u00e5 5 359 meter \u00f6ver havet p\u00e5 steniga och oj\u00e4mna v\u00e4gar i iskalla vindar som hela tiden f\u00f6rs\u00f6ker trycka bort dig fr\u00e5n v\u00e4gen. F\u00f6r en tid sedan snubblade vi \u00f6ver Christoph Kluge – en atlet som utsatte sig f\u00f6r just s\u00e5dana f\u00f6rh\u00e5llanden och tog 2012 ett legendariskt STRAVA-rekord genom att ta sig an ett av de h\u00f6gsta k\u00f6rbara passen i Himalaya med cykel: Khardung La-passet. Sedan dess har rekordet varit ohotat. Fram tills nu.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u0160koda och We Love Cycling blev b\u00e5de nyfikna och t\u00e4vlingsinriktade n\u00e4r de h\u00f6rde talas om Klunges rekord – och fr\u00e5gade runt om n\u00e5gon var sugen p\u00e5 att utmana rekordet. Det dr\u00f6jde inte l\u00e4nge innan v\u00e5r inbox var proppfull av en m\u00e4ngd galna cyklister som alla var villiga att anta denna obskyra utmaning. Vi har noggrant j\u00e4mf\u00f6rt varje utmanares STRAVA-rekord, \u00f6vergripande historik inom h\u00e4lsa och atletiska f\u00f6rm\u00e5ga – och inte minst deras beslutsamhet att krossa Kluges rekord. Och till v\u00e5r stora f\u00f6rv\u00e5ning slutade vi inte bara med en eller tv\u00e5. Vi fick fyra, alla sugna p\u00e5 att genomf\u00f6ra detta extrema uppdrag. S\u00e5 f\u00f6ddes projektet Catching Breath.

F\u00f6rutom de fyra deltagarna, Bartosz Huzarski fr\u00e5n Polen, Andrea Schilir\u00f2 fr\u00e5n Italien, Eva Lindskog fr\u00e5n Sverige och Valenti Sanjuan fr\u00e5n Spanien, samlade vi ihop ett team av fotografer och andra specialister som motsvarade \u00e4ventyrets galenskap. Eftersom Khardung La \u00e4r Himalayas och v\u00e4rldens h\u00f6gsta punkt som \u00e4r m\u00f6jlig att betr\u00e4da utan milit\u00e4r till\u00e5telse kr\u00e4vdes minst sagt noggranna f\u00f6rberedelser och en orimlig beslutsamhet f\u00f6r att f\u00e5 till den h\u00e4r resan.<\/p>\n

F\u00f6r att h\u00e5lla cyklisterna motiverade best\u00e4mde vi oss f\u00f6r att ha en tidtagarbil som hela tiden h\u00f6ll Kluges rekordfart, en specialdesignad \u0160koda KAROQ som cyklisterna hela tiden kunde ha som referens. F\u00f6re bilen: bra, men desto s\u00e4mre att ligga bakom.<\/p>\n

Vi hade \u00e4ven assistans av fyrhjulsdrivna \u0160koda KODIAQ d\u00e4r fotografer, syrgasflaskor och andra n\u00f6dv\u00e4ndiga redskap rymdes. Cyklisterna fick naturligtvis gr\u00e4va djupt f\u00f6r att klara av uppgiften, men \u00e4ven foto-teamet hade en v\u00e4ldigt utmanande uppgift, om \u00e4n helt annan. Timmar av fotografering utan storyboards, omtagningar och l\u00e5ngt ifr\u00e5n ideala ljusf\u00f6rh\u00e5llanden \u00e4r definitivt inte optimalt, men enligt regiss\u00f6ren Alberto Accettulli blev det p\u00e5 n\u00e5got s\u00e4tt \u00e4nd\u00e5 enkelt tack vare adrenalinkickar och det fantastiska landskapet! Och framf\u00f6rallt p\u00e5 grund av den \u00e4ldsta och starkaste av k\u00e4nslor; att f\u00e5 bevittna en n\u00e4ra om\u00e4nsklig beslutsamhet och se fysiska och mentala gr\u00e4nser flyttas.<\/p>\n

Precis som i n\u00e4stan alla t\u00e4vlingar finns det bara en segrare. Bartosz Huzarski lyckades inte bara sl\u00e5 Khardung La utan ocks\u00e5 det gamla rekordet med 27 minuter och 50 sekunder. Kort d\u00e4refter kom Andrea Schilir\u00f2 upp \u00f6ver kr\u00f6net och lyckades \u00e4ven han sl\u00e5 rekordet – t\u00e4tt f\u00f6ljd av Eva Lindskog som passerade m\u00e5llinjen f\u00f6re KAROQ-bilen och numera \u00e4r den kvinnliga v\u00e4rldsrekordh\u00e5llaren.

N\u00e4r det g\u00e4ller Valent\u00ed Sanjuan, spanjoren som inf\u00f6r Catching Breath genomf\u00f6rt tio Ironman-t\u00e4vlingar p\u00e5 tio dagar (ja du l\u00e4ste r\u00e4tt) och legat p\u00e5 sjukhus efter en skada, segrade \u00e4ven han \u00f6ver Himalaya. Efter en kort stund med syrgasmask och en l\u00e5ng rad svordomar blev han ocks\u00e5 till slut mottagen av de vr\u00e5lande folkmassorna p\u00e5 toppen. N\u00e4r alla t\u00e4vlande och hela teamet till slut hade samlats var peppen total. Loppet var minst sagt anstr\u00e4ngande, men helt och h\u00e5llet v\u00e4rt det.
