Leaving Canada.

At the airport enjoying free carrots and unlimited soda. It will be good to go home after three weeks of solid training with van Koeverden. I heard that the weather is absolutely perfect at home so I cant wait to jump in "my" lake. I love the sweedish summer. I will take it easy for a few days when I get home and hopefully there will be time for some lazy beachculture. Beach culture in fridgid Scandinavia - yes its true at least for a few weeks of the year, or for longer if you are really tuff.
It was my second time in canada and I must say I'm impressed by the people, very kind and welcoming. I'm also glad to see the way they care about the enviroment. Well a lot of them still drive around in far to big cars, but recyceling and organicproducts are in fashion. Recycle is radical!

Ottawa

Things are good in Ottawa. The club here Rideau is realy nice and I feel very welcome. Training with Adam is great and I feel quite good on the water. Ottawa as a city is really nice and the diffrent pople that I have eather visited or stayed at have all been great. I must say that life here seems to bee really good to most people. Tomorrow is only two sessions in the morning and the afrernoon off - it looks like some beachwolleyboll is on in the afternoon if the weather is good.

Canada

In Canada at the moment. Training in Ottawa with canadian team. Things has been happening pretty fast lately. From racing in Poznan I got straight to swe nationals and straight from there to Algonquin park in Ontario where things slowed down. Spent three relaxing days at Roots supernice cottage. Paddling there is great an living in the wilderness was so relaxing. Training is going good at the moment and Ottawa is really nice.

On the move.

Straight home from WC in Poland where i got my 5th place in K1. Straight home to another race - Swedish nationals. Normaly our nationals is one week of intence racing but my time was limiting me to be there only two days this year. But during those two days I managed to do some really good results. 5 medals - among them taking my 4th gold in a row at K1 500m. After nationals I stayed in Gothembeurg only to wake up at 4.30 the morning after to catch the morning plane to London and from there keep moving towards Canada and Toronto - where I am now, having breakfast.
