I`ve now spent a week here in Canberra preparing for the World Championship on Saturday. The trip from Norway to Autralia was not as bad as I expected, It was two long flights though, but I survived and was even able to get some sleep.

The jetlag has not been too bad either, just some days waking up earliy in the night the first couple of days and then feeling OK in the Australian timezone.

I`m staying together with the Norwegian national team in a apartment 30min bikeride from the course witch is a perfect warmup and cooldown after I`ve been training in the course. Our team this year is small, me and Anders Hovdenes (U23 rider) as riders and Steffen, together with my personal trainer Ragnhild Kostøl, as staff – maybe the the smallest team down here. We have a great time in our apartment, meals are prepared together and so far the food has been way better than the restaurants we have been to around here.

Tomorrow is my last day in the course before the big day on Saturday. I feel okey but you can never know for sure, I guess thats whats so exciting with sport. I`m looking forward to the race and I feel it`s time to start now after spending quite a while here in Canberra. My S-Works Era is pampered and shiny, and also looking forward to the big event. The bike is ready to, tires is tested and I`m ready to goJ
