Finally the real summer weather has arrived here in Norway, actually it`s really warm at the moment with around 30 degrees celsius. At the moment I`m on a boat-trip east in Norway, everyday we go to a new place either a small island or to a small town along the coast. So relaxing and quit!

My Ruby road bike is also on bord though and every morning I`m going for a ride before I`m heading back to the boat for a relaxing day.

Fishing is a big thing at the moment, but so far no luck!

My boyfriend is the ”fishpro” so today the catch of the day was on the meny for our barbeque. Salad made by me and fish well prepared by the barbeque king,..

Tomorrow is our last day on the boat and we`ll drive to Drammen (outside Oslo) where Sondre is doing a race on Sunday. Since I`ve just started my training period this week I`m not racing, instead I`ll go for a long ride and take it easy. For the next three weeks I`ll focus on basic training again with Tour de Feminin Bretagne stagerace on the road as a end of the training period. I hope this will be the recipe for a good shape for the worlds in September. Unfortunately I have to drop the Europeans as well as the Norwegian championship this year, but I want to try something new and hope this will give me a good shape throughout the second half of the seson.

Norwegian championship

Last weekend I did the Norwegian championchip on the road in my hometown Sandnes. With a course that didn`t suit me that well I was not exactly the favourite to win a sprint. I just knew with that course the race was going to end up with a final sprint, I tried to attack serval times during the race with no luck and it seemed like most of the other girls wanted a sprint so that was it. I ended up finshing in 10th position not feeling happy or sad. The next time I`ll race together with the norwegian gilrs on the road will be in Tour de Feminin Bretagne where I`ll be a part of the national team.

I`ve done this stage race several times before, a couple of years ago though but I`m looking forward to race with the rodies again.

Enjoy the summer!
