I have implemented Vasaloppet. Sitting and writing at a computer at school we live. Found a network cable. I am very happy with my results. 6:12 was enough to medal. The location was 2811, which means I went on about 1000 people. To find results in Vasaloppet and see guideway profile, you can use this link !

The start of Vasaloppet. 16 000 skaters stand in his way to a terrible rumble. The power is awesome!

Next year maybe I'll start in point three. Not quite sure what my score enough. However, bear me to be in Australia when Vasaloppet go so it will be until 2011 the next time!

The race was as I said, very tough. I had trained a lot of skiing, but no gym. Good for art, but a pain in the back and triceps. During the race I changed and Kristin Anderson place alternately. She went to me and I went about her. In Hökberg I stopped at Mom and Dad and herded about. Then she went for me. I came up with five kilometers before Mora and asked:

Should we cross the finish line together or we sprint!

Anderson responded to my horror:

We do!

I snatched two kilometers before the finish. In Brobacken she was caught up with me again, and shrugged. I had no chance at the finish! Very well traveled by Kristin ending the 90 th girl, congratulations!

Today I have been out of Landvetter track and traveled seventeen kilometers. The track is 2.5 kilometers, so it was seven yards. It's OK Landehof as proofs, the same club as I am a member of and shall go with the Vasaloppet. A track card costs $ 60 per day, 300 crowns for a season ticket member and SEK 600 for nonmembers.

My set-up two weeks before Vasaloppet is to train hard until the weekend before. After eating and resting. I'm betting on short stretches of 17 km at a high pace. Rather than mapping to make use of his legs, all in order to maximize the force of arms to Vasaloppet. Träningsporgram:

Last year I drove a lot of gym training before the race. This year I put off with gymmandet before Christmas and since then has concentrated on just skiing. I do not think I have the same form in stakåkningen but I've definitely improved my technique!

The Vasaloppet do I get the OK Landehof and their coach. We live in an old cottage in Berga Village, within walking distance from the start. On Saturday before the race, we test skis in many booths. Read my story from last year's cross country !
