Dalby Forest!

Have been without internet for a few days so not much updating here. Starting from the begining of last week it pretty much looked like this.

Tuesday I spent most of the day going to Alkmaar, a town north of Amsterdam to meet one of our doctors who is 100% into lungs. I made some testing there which shows that I have ASTMA! Big shit, but in the same way good to know why my body feels pretty slow sometimes. Now it´s going to be a period of trying to sort out the right medication so I can keep on doing what I like the most, racing my bike in a fast and fun way.

I had to stop my medication a couple of days before the test and it took me a few days to get back feeling ok again when I started with them again.

We travelled to Dalby and I took part in the sprintrace friday evening. I was feeling rather ok but the format with about 1,5min racing in heats doesn´t suit me perfect. I like better the shortrace format racing 10-20mins.

Sundays XC race was ridden with the “cruise control” taking control over my body. I have a quite high speed but I can´t go turbo at any time. It shows also on my laptimes where I more or less have the same time per lap. I just can´t go into the red zone and fight because I don´t get air enough to muscles and brain.

I am not that happy about the 43rd place I made in the end, but I am happy that I continued fighting with the speed I have at the moment. I know that it will soon change again and I will be up fighting again. Untill then I hope for rain at the races, which is making my breathing a lot easier.

So, all of you that has astma. Let´s prove that it doesn´t have to slow you down to much. I am eager to get this working out!
