Back in Switzerland

Came back to Switzerland yesterday. Came with the train around 23:30 so I went straight to bed. Took a restday today. Very nice! Haven´t done so much actually. When you have all time in the world you don´t manage to do anything... At least I left the apartment for a short while, took a long walk to the other side of the lake (Rapperswil) and the weather was perfect for a walk.
Did some core training when I came back to the apartment.

This evening I have just been sitting infront of the computer, done nothing... But now I´m watching the prolouge of "Tour of California". Thomas did great!! I just hope the other guys are a little bit slower... Sorry you guys! :S

Just one day left before I go back to Switzerland

(Since it´s Valentins day)

After my easy training yesterday we took the car up to a small, and very cousy village in the mountains called Mijas. They have a lot of small stores and my reason to go there was, shopping!! Found some nice things... It´s always fun with shopping, one of my hobbies I think :)

Today it was time for a longer rout again. Got 4:50 and some climbing. Haven´t done so much more, watched the biathlon world championships at the TV, but it didn´t went so good for Sweden...

Tomorrow it´s the last day here before I fly back to Switzerland, on saturday. Not fun at all, cause there I will be alone for 9 days before Thomas come back from California :(
1-2 days alone can be quit nice, but 9 days. What to do on nine days...alone?? Hm, I have to come up with something... Maybe you can look forward to hear from me everyday ;)

Training report

Now we have trained for two more days. Yesterday I did 5 hours and today I got 6 hours, with some intensity in the mountains. Feels good, but I have to say that I went a little bit tired at the end today...
The weather as been a little bit worse, a little bit colder, around 16´c and cloudy. But still so much better then at home. In Sweden it is 3´c and in Switzerland it will be minus in the weekend, so I will not complaine.
Tomorrow it´s an easy day. Just 1-2 hours on the bike, and then I will try to do some core training. Muy importante!!

Take care,
Ciao

Restday and Gibraltar

(My brother is the one to the left ;))

After breakfast we took the car to Gibraltar, it´s only around 70 km´s from here. Took the cable car up to the top of the creek. Unlucky us we had the worst day of the week, cloudy and a little bit rain... Or maybe it was just because we were in "Great Britain" we had bad weather ;) Cause when we came back to Marbella the sun was shining and we had at least 16´c even if the clock was after 4 pm. Anyway, we had an nice time in Gibraltar even if the weather wasn´t the best. On the top we saw a lot of monkeys. Two of them jumped up on my back, got one of them on picture...

The rest of the day I have just been taking it easy. Came just from a bath in the bubbelpool. Very nice :)

Tomorrow it´s five hours on the schedule.

Just a short update from Marbella

(The biggest bed I have ever seen and I had whole by myself :))

Now we have been here a week. The weather here is perfect, around 20´c and sunny.
Have done almost 30 hours in 7 days, including one restday this far.
Today we did the longest ride, 6 hours. Tomorrow it´s a restday again. We are going on sightseeing to Gibraltar, and the rest of the day I will just relax, maybe go down to the spa section and take a bath in the bubbelpool. We are staying at Marriott´s here in Marbella and the hotell is fantastic!! Just our apartment is 142 squarmeters, and we are only three persons :) My bed is so big that you could sleep like four people in it. I will try to take some pictures and show you instead... But it will not be any pictures until I´m back in Switzerland cause I can´t upload them on my computer here.

I will try to update tomorrow again!
Ciao

Tomorrow I go to Marbella

Now it´s only one day left until I go to Marbella. I have checked the weather and it should be around 15 ´c and sunny in the beginning of the first week anyway. I hope it stays like that... Warmer is okey ofcourse ;)

I have just finished my training on the indoor bike. Did 4 times 8 minutes and 2 minutes rest. First time I did that training this winter, and I could feel that is was first time too... It was hard!!
Now I´m just waiting for Thomas to get back from his training, then lunch and then packing for tomorrow.

Bizkaia-Durango, UCI women´s team!

Sorry for my late update, but now I can tell you that I will be a part of the spanish UCI team Bizkaia-Durango. It will be 8 spanish girls and me, so only spanish for me this year. At least I have study spanish for three years at the gymnasium, but the problem is that it was a while ago... So during the winter I´ve borrowed some spanish books for the third year at the gymnasium at the libary to refresh my spanish a little bit.
I will still live in Switzerland since they let me fly to the races, and they seem to have a really nice raceprogram! The team feels perfect for me and I´m really looking forward to the season :)
As it looks now the first race will be in France, 8th of Mars.

Today Thomas and I moved down to Switzerland again. We went by car early this morning and came to the apartment at 5 pm. But I will only be here for five days, cause at saturday I fly to Marbella for trainingcamp in two weeks. I´m looking forward to that too, hopefully some good weather and good training!!

If I don´t manage to update before I go to Spain I´ll try to make some updates while I´m there!

Ciao
