Had some good SG runs today in the morning before we trained SL, it
wasn´t great conditions but it was ok. Tried some new plates on the SL
skies, worked pretty well. Same schedule tomorrow, but we´ll go the SG
in a steeper slope.
Played some Tennis with Hans, couldn´t use my own racket though due to
Heli, our coach, who broke it some days ago :( Argghh!! So I didn´t
play my best...because of the racket of course...!
Now I´m sitting in my bed, waiting for our meeting at 8 a clock, tired
because it was my turn cooking today, made som chicken with red curry
and coconut milk, red pepper and mushrooms. Was very tasty, not my
recipe though, have to give credit to Jonas my service guy, thanks for
the help!!
Timeout is Over! 22/8
Hi, what´s up?!
Well, that day went fast, time to get the machinery going again. Had a
nice brunch for myself today, the guys went up a little earlier so
they had allready eaten, made some scrambled eggs and bacon, sandwich
with jam and cheese, juice and some youhurt, was delicious!! Nice to
eat in peace and quite for a change and not hurry for making it to the
time we have to leave for the slope. Me, Mattias, Patrik and Marco
played 18 holes of golf today, didn´t played my best though, but it
will do.
Today´s my moms birthday, sorry I can´t be there celebrating with you,
Happy Birthday though!!!!! I´ll buy you something nice from NZL.
Tomorrow we´ll go SG in the morning and then SL afterwards. Now I´m
gonna brush my teeth and then I will watch maybe two episodes of
Scrubs before go to sleep!!
Bye!
Day Off Tomorrow = Golf 21/8
Hi!
Finaly, I made it through, now it´s day off tomorrow!! I really need
that day now.
The guys talking about going Bungy Jumping but sorry that´s nothing
for me, I get enough kicks from skiing...or golfing for that matter.
Don´t want to "risk my life" in some crazy jumping off a bridge down
in the water activity. That´s a NO GO for me!
I settle for some nice and quite golfing, that´s about my limit off
activity for tomorrow, with a golf car!
The day up in the slope was amazing, my SL skiing is strong at the
moment and we are trying out some new material for this year which
seems to work well.
Now I´ll go out on the range and hit a couple of baskets before we go
down to Queenstown and the gym later for some training. I´ll leave the
"slice" here in my room, try to bring the "draw" instead.
Cheerio!
Good start of the season!! 20/8
Yes!!
Managed to win the GS race in Coronet today aswell. I was 3rd after
the first run but my 2nd was very good and I just made it with like a
tenth of a second before Hans who was 2nd again today, Jon Olsson was
3rd, so just swedes on the podium!!
Had a long day up on the slope, had to wait for about 1,5 hour for the
pricegiving cermoni and when me and Hans came back down like 4 a clock
the guys where about to go out for a run, so we changed quickly and
followed.
So now I´m sitting here, very tired and waiting for dinner, Matts is
cooking again.
2 wins in my first two races is a great start of the 09/10 season. I´m
very pleased with that, didn´t make any points but almost the same
like my best result from last year so
that´s good. Now I´m looking forward to train some SL tomorrow and
then I hope for a day off, feels like it´s about time, my body is
saying NO MORE!! But one more day shouldn´t be a problem, I guess.
Still trying to get that video out but it just doesn´t work...Slow
Internet Sucks!!
Now I´ll got to go to Ulf, our fysio for some massage, life´s hard
isn´t it... ;)
Later!
Victory!! 19/8
Hello!
Had a good day up on the mountain today, 1st race start of the season
and a 1st place!!
I made pretty good points aswell so I´m very pleased with that. Think
I made like 11,50 something, maybe better. Check under result, it will
take you directly to the FIS website for my results, they still
haven´t updated it but I guess it will be there during the day.
Made some speed/quickness training when we came back and now it´s time
for dinner. Mattias turn to cook, smells nice, something with chicken
I think.
Tomorrow I´ll go for another GS race on the same hill, but we´ll do
some SL training in the morning before the inspection.
I´m trying to get some more videos out but our internet sucks so it´s
impossible to upload something with this speed, sorry about that.
Now I´ll try to hit the shower before dinner.
Take care!
At the Gym Today 18/8
Hi!
After the GS training I was very tired but I managed to drag my ass to
the gym to do a short leg session. Then I did 40 min on the bike and
then home again.
This morning we had some fog in the slope but after an hour it cleared
up and we had another great day.
Now I´m waiting for our meeting at 8 a clock and then I will go to
bed. Competition tomorrow, GS FIS on the agenda and after todays
training I feel pretty confident, even though I just had two days of
GS now in the body, we´ll see how it goes.
Keep your fingers crossed!
Beautiful day on the hill 17/8
Go´day Mate!!
Ok, we´re not in Australia, but close as you can get...
Today we had awesome conditions on the hill. A cold night and a lot of
hard work from our coaches made it possible so thanks guys!
We skiied GS and I must say I´m more then happy with my first GS day,
I think I´ve been keeping my good shape from the spring over summer so
that´s feels good.
Me and Matts played some tennis against Jens and Mackan this
afternoon, was good fun even though we lost, yes I know it´s
sad...just sad. We need to make a rematch some day so we´ll take our
revenge!
We´ll do GS tomorrow aswell and I think I might go and race on
wednesday in Coronet Peak, still need some GS points before the season
kick in so I´ll hope for the best.
Mackans turn to cook today and he made us some chicken teriaki with
rice, was very good and now me and Matts are hangin out in our room
making nothing at all.
I think the room might need some cleaning but I don´t have the energi
for that now, I´ll do it tomorrow...maybe.
Now I got to pack my bag for tomorrow so I can sleep as long as
possible, don´t want to forget something down here and we all know
that the brain is less functional at 6 AM so I better do it now before
I go to sleep.
Peder our "lifecoach" and also photographer have some fotos that I´ll
get for tomorrow so I try to get them out, meanwhile you have to
settle with the ones that´s allready there.
Maybe I´ll have time to upload a new video from tomorrows training
aswell. Check it out and sign the guestbook while your at it!
Rock´n´roll!
Golfing 16/8
Hi again!
Golfing was good, I played 34 points so now I have big expectations
for lowering my hcp here in NZL. My driver is going straighter then
ever so I hope I will improve in golf aswell as skiing this camp.
Made som rice with beef in sweet n´sour sause for the boys and I think
everybody appreciated it, I think it was tasty, well ok it was eatable
at least...they eat anything so they are not so hard to please.
Now it´s time for bed, I´m soo tired, this jetlag is killing me..
