Preparing for Ånn


The stomach recovered fast after Romania and I am in the middle of a two week intensive training period before the last world cup round in Ånn. It is perfect skiing condition and nice weather in Trondheim right now, something that makes it easy to train a lot. The body responds good to the training and to day I finished the week with a small local cross-country competition, 5 km skating, Klæburennet. Allthough I felt that I have been training a lot this week, the competition went pretty well, I won the small women senior class 30 sec in front of Guro Strøm Solli. Most important however, it was great training. (Picture from Klæburennet by Øystein Kvaal Østerbø)

I have been studying some old Ånn maps this week and am really starting to look forward to the competitions. After a bad world cup start in Russia, I forgot about the world cup total and have been focusing on good individual races. This tactic seams to have worked and after two good WC rounds, in Bulgaria and Romania, I now have a chance to win the total. World cup standing: here. An extra motivation in front of the WC final. I do expect difficult races in Sweden, and as at least 4-5 women still have the chance to win the world cup, so I expect tough competition both in each individual race and for the WC total.
