It feels good to be back home, I`ve had time to go to my friends wedding and being social for a change. The days are flying by and at the moment! I`m doing more base training so the local races I`ve ahead of me will only be a part of my training for the second half of the season. Also being back on my Ruby road bike feels great after a lot of mountain biking for the last couple of months. The weather has been good enough for longer easy rides, changing focus from big international races to training again is good for head and mind. Training is easy while racing top competitions is hard so I feels good to kind of have a break from that. My motivation is on top and I didn`t feel I needed a break after the world cup in Madrid. I was in a hurry to get back on my road bike to do some km again.

Anyway this and next weekend local races is on the program, 120km road race on sunday and 90km marathon race next saturday. Maybe I don`t have the best legs and feeling on the bike after the training I`ve done, but that dosn`t really matter as long as It gives me the competition I need for a hard training day. I guess the men will give me a hard time during both races...will see!!
