Hard training week in Scotland

Last week I was in Speyside in Scotland with the British team. The last few years we have tended to travel abroad for technical training camps, but this year we looked north and I have to say, it was one of the best training camps I have ever been on. There was a really good group of guys, we were training on some of the best maps and in some of the best terrains in the world. The weather was mixed, but it was never really cold, and we only had snow on one morning (although not where we were training). I had a slight problem with my knee for 2 days, so I got some hours in on the bike as well. Below are a few of the maps we trained on, and some pictures from the week. Got to be one of the most inspiring places for training.

Jag bor i Bosön nu

I morse vaknade jag klockan halv åtta. Efteråt jag frukost, ja gick till skogen med mina kompisar. Sedan sprang vi i skogen en och en halv timme. Efter, jag gick tillbacka hem, och jag duschade och jag åt lite lunch. Sedan, tog jag bussen till skolan.

For those uneducated people, that is Swedish. Which I now learn. With some Africans and Asians. Every day. Between 12.15 and 3.45. Which is nice.

I came back to Sweden last week, moved into my new flat in Bosön sports campus, basically a place for elite sports people who are students in Stockholm to live. Its really nice and pretty cheap, and perfect for training. My knee is feeling much better, and apart from some niggles in my calves, training is going well. I will put up some training maps soon.

We had 3cm of snow last week. But its gone now.

Some more pics from South Africa

Well I am back in the UK now, and 4 weeks in South Africa (mostly Dullstroom) was great fun. Good training, good food, nice people. The weather was a bit wet, but it was nice and warm.
