WC-3 Duisburg
Last world cup for the season. I had plans on doing K1 500m as well as K1
1000m, but after a disapointing performance at wc-2 I decided just to do K1
1000m. I also wanted to try a different race plan and see if I could manage
to race with even or negativ 500m splits on the 1000m. I managed to stick
with the plan and had a good race. I’ll do some more testing at the
Europeans before I decide how I will race at Worlds. Rene Poulsen was
dissapointed after wc-2 with his time not making it into the top 10
list
,
but after his victory at wc-3 there was no doubt. Congratz Rene! After wc-3
I had an easy week and this week has been hard. Looking forward to race in
Belgrade, never been there but heard so many nice things about the course
and the city. This weekend we had a national regatta on Årungen outside
Oslo. I was supposed to race against Oyvind Solberg for the K1 5000m spot at
Europeans, but he didn’t show due to injury and I got the spot on walk over..
My sponsors, ESSVE and Thaugland, gave a brand new Nelo Vanquish III SCS to
the best junior, Eivind Vold, this weekend. On the picture is me, Eivind
Vold, and Tore Berger (former CEO at Thaugland and Olympic Champion from K4
1000m 1968)
