back again!

Hey Folks!
This time I promis that my blog will be updated a lot more often. Raceseason is right around the corner, which gives me something to write about. Well season is actually started right now. At this very moment I am in Cyprus for training camp, and, yes you have guesed rigth, Cyprus Sunshine Cup.
I actually like winter, as long as it is freezing and snow, and it was actually really cool that we almost had a white christmas. But now, apx 1 month before european season kickoff it would have been nice with some + temperatures. But winter will not take an end, so I desided to go to Cyprus for a couple of weeks of training and racing, to get a way from the snow-masses. But since all europe is covered in snow, I am not the only euro-pro visiting cyprus. So there is a lot of people here I know, and it is nice to see everybody again. The races here are a bit harder than normal as well. So this is a good opportunity to test my form. Well, it was already testet in the labor back home, and the tests showed that I have never been stronger in a January test before, but one thing is testing, another is racing. Last weekend was first race here, and I did a 15th spot, from a starting-position of 76, so that was good for me. Today was first day of a 3 day stage-race, and I did 11th spot. It was a time-trial in heavy rain, and to be honest I felt slow and like crap. But in some way or another i managed to go fast. Tomorow will be a point to point race. I don´t have a clue about the course, so it will be a kind of a surprise race, you never know what´s around next corner. Stay tuned!
