It feels great to have a good feeling on my bike again, the past two weeks I`ve been training more or less normal and my body has responded well. I feel stronger every day so I`ts time to do some racing again!

While most of the riders take a rest from racing to do a good block of training again I feel I have to do some racing. I also need a good block of training so I`m not aiming for a top shape for the next races, the most important thing is that I get back in shape for the Europeans in July. I`ve lost both racing and training during my illness the last month but I know for sure that my winter-training was really good so It`s nothing serious to worry about since I`m feeling so much stronger alredy☺

At the moment I`m in Champerey, Switzerland for a national cross counrty race. The same place and course as the Worldcup round 4 in 6 weeks. After I did a national marathon race in Norway last weekend I desided to travel to Champery, my body felt okey and I need a hard cross counrty race in a rough course.

Traveling all alone Is nothing I`ve to say I`m used to. I`m so spoiled to have such a professional team around me all the time and It really makes me think about how the riders without any Pro-team must have it traveling alone for races. I`ve to call my self a Pro-Traveler though and for me It`s not a problem to travel all around the world alone, but when It comes to the mechanic bit I`m not a Pro anymore.

Every year I tell my self I need to learn more how to fix my bike...Seems like every year It`s more easy to ask for help rather than try to fix It by my self!

I`m exited about the race on Sunday feels like ages ago since last race and I want to do well. I`m not thinking about any specific results, just that I feel I can fight again.

I`m slso happy that another young up and coming Norwegian girl Elisabeth Sveum is here to race, hope she do a good race.

Big Smile
