Back riding!

After spending about 10 days without proper training I could start riding again last week. Still a bit blocked in my nose but a good feeling. I decided to ride the CX-series in south of Sweden this weekend and it turnes out to be rather good.

Saturdays race in Åstorp was a mudfest deluxe. I was feeling far from good and my heartrate was high but without power. I did my best and finished 2nd behind, Fredrik Edin, Cykloteket racing team.

On sunday the ground was frozen, about -5 degrees and some fresh snow. The course in Kristianstad was super fast and so was I. Saturdays race was a good leg opener after about 3 weeks without real efforts. I was riding with a small gap to the others already on the first lap but suffered from a flat tire, which made me ride about one lap on the rim to get a new wheel. I lost some ground but made my way back to the top and attacked the others. I rode a steady race in front and enjoyed the last bikeride for a couple of weeks. I will now take a few weeks of from the bike and recover my ass a bit =) I will keep busy doing lot of other stuff, such as Xc skiing and playing with my family.

Jens Westergren, Falu CK took second place on sunday and he is also sitting second in the series, Merida-Northwave Cup.

I am in the lead with 2 races to go in january.
