26 hours at home - sweet.

At home again after worldcup in Poznan Poland. I got away with a 5th place in my main event k-1 500m and did a really good time 1.37.0 but that didn't help much when the podium boys all broke the previous worldrecord and for the fisrt time did 1.35's thats impressive. i'm now home since 3am this morning and home for antoher 19 hours an early morning drive in my car tomorrow on my way to swe nationals. Stoked - not. It would have been nice to stay home for more than a couple of hours but I also whant to do nationals and support my club.

East vs. West Coast

This week I've been "on the move" Started with going to Västerås on monday. In Västerås I was training with Markus my K2 partner. I stayed at their super nice new house and got really spoiled by Anna (Markus girlfriend) who took great care of us .... really spoiled. It was nice to be back in Västerås to visit some old friends. I lived there for two years 2004-2006 so it's a really familiar enviroment and a really good place to train on. After some really good training I took of to the extremely nice Swedish West Coast and Smögen for som time off. We were celebrating midsummer and that is my absolute favourite feast. Very good times and absolutly my favourite part of Sweden. This in combination with happy and nice people makes it the best. And from Smögen I went to Grundsund also on the west coast to meet up with some other friends. Really really good times there too! All in all a really good week! Next week is WC 3 in Poznan and only K1 for me - that will be fun to I hope.

Whoop Whoop

After todays workout a live band was playing coversongs outside my house. They were celebrating my house was 50 years. They were playing "simply the best" - I took it as a sign hehe ;-) Great training today both in the efternoon and in the morning we were three from swe-national team on the water. I really like training in a good group. Had lunch with a friend of mine who is going to bike around our lake (300km) alongside 17000 other bikers - he was fueling up on pasta in enourmous proportions and made me stuff down about 25kg pasta too.

Silver WC 1

Back home after an weekend in Szeged Hungary and worldcup no uno. Had a great competittion and the silver in K-2 1000m was really nice! The race was only the second race in internationall competition for me and my partner Markus Oscarsson. And the first race where Markus didn't do K-1 right before. So we were really happy with our result. It seams like summer is on a high here at home and a beutifull day with 25 degrees today and brutal dropsets in the gym in the morning and som slow recovery paddling in the afternoon.

United.

Today I woke up at 6 very tired - snoozed until 6.45 and then I was late for the 7.00 training of course. I got to the club around 7.30 and it was a windy (shitty) day so I battled with the wawes for 1,5km into lake Munksjön where I did the morning session. Not a good one - I was so tired. After the paddling Sofia and I went to the slalom hill in Jära for hill unning with poles - very hard! 5 times to the top - hard work. I saw a snake and even though my hart was pumpim at maximum allready I think it took a few extra beats there. In the afternoon I went to my very good friends the Anderssons family's mothers funeral. It was a very nice funeral and very sad. We all loved Birgitta and she left us way to early at age 50. Some more training after that and now I'm back home again. Tired but not time to sleep yet - still have to pack for Hungary tomorrow. WC 1 i Szeged.

Nuevo!

Today was a great day. It started with a nice good paddle with Adam Van Koeverden in the morning followed by gym. I was supposed to do testing in Stockholm today but it got cancelled and I had therefore time to drive Adma to the airport. In the afternoon I packed my K-1 on the trailer going to Hungary and later went for a 1800m swim at Attarpsbadet in the late afternoon sunshine. An absolutely great day - summer in sweden is the best!
