I’m in Sweden and ready for Vasaloppet, starts 8am on Sunday 1st of March. You can follow the race and see results on http://www.vasaloppet.se My startnumber is 248 and the rower on the picture, Olaf Tufte, has number 154.
Today Jacob and I joined some of the national team sprint guys ( Anders Gløersen, Øystein Pettersen and Jens Arne Svartedal) for a session. Needless to say; we got smoked big time! It was very interesting to learn from the best and see what kind of training they do.
Yesterday I competed in a 42km x-country race. I placed 33th and was 9min and 43sec behind the winner. I had a good race and couldn’t have gone any faster. I was beaten by Olaf Tufte (the rower) with 90sec, so that was not good. As you can see from the picture it’s difficult to paddle in Oslo at the moment.
Today a big fan from Germany visited me here in Oslo. Tom Kiery is 14years old, he’s from Dresden and one of the best paddlers on his age in Germany. We did a good indoor session together at the club. Tom is on vacation in Norway with his parents.
Sunday was my first session after i got a cold and today i had my first hard session. It’s nice to be recovered and able to train as planned again. Yesterday i got my olympic silver watch from Oakley, it’s really cool. I was supposed to get it in Beijing…better late than never
