New site with new blog updates...


(I found this site more fun and motivating to write on, hope you'll enjoy!)

Back on Swedish soil again after a vacation in Warsaw.
Time spent with family & friends, shopping, sipping coffee in the beautiful parts of Warsaw. A relaxation that was well timed!

Enjoying being home in Gothenburg, for some good period of hard training in an home environment. Hopefully I will also compete at in the District Championships in weightlifting.
As side of training, it's good to be here around good friends and family.
Gothenburg is at this moment filled with activities, and just yesterday I went on the concert of Laleh a true inspiration. Great artist, on stage she just bubbles of joy!
And rumors say's she has taken up on skating on the lakes (winter time af course, we live north here but we do not have ice bears walking around the streets)

Take Care!

Gothenburg Calling - 4 weeks of summer ice have come to it's end.
Today I'm flying back home to Sweden, I can look back on a good period of training
, overall I feel much stronger endurance wise than I did last year at the same period.
I've been able to test my new skates, still have to be able to learn how to get the whole benefit out of them but over all I like them a lot!
The next step now is to put the speed in, and I'm excited about that.
First things first, a week of vacation with my family in Warsaw.

Greets, Claudia

Besides being challenged on the ice, I had a rather thrilling chicken race this morning. Coming back from my ice training, turning on the computer and having my traditional cup of coffee, I suddenly have a feeling of being watched. I look outside the balcony door, and to my chock I see that our two chickens have escaped the cage and are now looking at me with anger in their face. (My theory; they want to haunt us down cause we sort of had their third friend for dinner last week, but hey they are chickens, i'm not cold blooded I have feelings but still..chicken equals food)
Anyway, I grab the kitchen glow and I'm trying to push them into the cage. Then this black chicken starts to attack me and jumps on the balcony fence, to my fear I back off I don't want the bird to take its life from t he 5th floor! And it also gave me a few scratches on my arm so I wasn't as cocky anymore. Continuing the story, I start to put a food trace to trick them into the cage, after much fear and battling the black one gives up and take up the food trace and ends up in the cage, however the second one was a stubborn one. Kept watching me through the glass door, eventually also he gave in for our marvelous crackers.
Lesson learned, I will never raise chickens on my own specially not on a balcony!!

Team Gold Rush Soccer Tournament: On a Sunday rest day we had the annual Gold Rush Soccer Tournament, which offered very entertaining two hours game with many fascinating and very impressive goals, but also fascinating and impressive way's of how not score while a wide open goal is just waiting for you...

However as the picture can tell, my team won by far (13-6) if we managed to count right, we kinda gave up after a while. Thank you team! Josh, Brooke & Roach!

A lifetime of training for just 37 seconds.
