Lucky me Alexander picked me up by car so I could get home. I tried to fix it but no success.

I was on the 29bike as my 26 has done a few ons to much lately… It is doing the last few days of work before going to be retired. I had to some cpr on both my mtbs today and I am happy at least one will work tomorrow. I am really picky about my bikes and hate material that doesn’t work. That the bikes didn’t work as they should today, is mostly because I have done to much kms on them lately.
Next week I pic up a new bike, ready for Cyprus. Looking forward to that :)

The course was cool at least!

Olof rocks, he turned up in these. To cold? :)

First Anna was down in fever a couple of days, then sune a few days and now Anna woke up this night having close to 40′ again. Crap!
I barely never get sick myself but I can feel my immunesystem working a bit harder than normal. At the moment I feel great and hope it stays that way.
Now breakfast and later mtb action. Rather cold outside but shouldn’t be a problem. In the woods It’s not that windy.

Ciao

Hard day in the gym plus indoor bike. Scored a record in one of my exercises. In Swedish we say frivändning, in English I think its called clean. I have been close to lift my body weight before but not really made it yet. Today I felt ready and I loaded 65kgs and bang, made it!
Cool feeling.

Now office work and later picking up the little man from kindergarten.

Tomorrow rock n roll training. Join!

Det är lite väl kallt för att gasa på, så vi siktar på nästa lördag istället.

Felt tired already yesterday evening and went to bed early. Woke up and didn’t feel at all like training. Did what I had to do, two sessions later I felt ok but drained from energy. 4*4 and gym hurts….
Happy about tomorrows restday. I need it!

Sune is back in buissnes. He has been overactive today. He was full on for moat of the day and didn’t want to fall a sleep. Both me and Anna were tired in the end, and she also fell a sleep. I will join them in a minute.

Plan for tomorrow is to do as less as possible. Maybe get my self a new harddrive so I can store some new movies for upcomming trips.

Ciao!

I was feeling good but my face wasn’t liking the low temperatures. Huu… I ended up doing a bit less today. I try to stay on the safe side and have some energy to stay healthy now when sune apparently has some kind of infection. I cross my fingers and hope he gets better and me managing to stay fresh.
He has a bit less fever now but still suffering. Poor man.

All for now.

We looked at curious george and I did some officework. Now he is sleeping beside me in the sofa. He fell a sleep at 18.00 with high fever yesterday but luckily he’s been sleeping ok except for a couple of mins awake. Anna is sleeping to, they will be home today.
For me It’s breakfast time and later full gas training.

Over.

Just finished it of with 4*4 running and it is as always pain…

90 hours of training this month including 4 restdays, many long rides and quite a few hardcore sessions.
I feel strong and healthy at the moment and I hope this feeling continues. Sune is down with fever, 40,1… We are feeding him with icecream now and hopefully it will ease off.

By the way, it looks like It’s going to be super cold saturday so we are cancelling the training race. Sorry for that but there will be more of that later on.

Ciao

On pics below you can see what I am up to when I ride my bike.
Today was cold as hell, -13 when sune went to kindergarten. I waited for a while and prepared the 29er for some action.
Cadence work on the road a few mins and then 1h15min the woods doing a few short courses including tricky stuff and some sprints.
I try to challenge myself as much as possible when riding. I am really good in tech stuff especially slow paced stuff. Now I am working on hitting stuff with speed and stay focused and relaxed despite rather tough sections. Cool ride and I enjoyed it as much as you can. Cold outside is not a factor when riding in the woods.

Now lunch and later 4*4 session. Bring it on!

A few stones.

I have been training quite a lot since I was young and know my body rather good. I am happy to say that I feel really good in training at the moment.
They are predicting cold temperatures later this week so I decided to swap days a bit. Long rides are hard when It’s to cold outside so I took advantage of todays great weather to do a long ride again. 5 hours of pedaling with Olof as company for a bit.
I will close January with some fun training tomorrow. Things are looking good!

Ice.
