Only six days left until the season starts

Came back from my third trainingcamp yesterday. Had two more weeks with good training. Both Madelene and Jessica were really good to train with, the training gets so much better/harder if you have some one to train with. And also dad impressed me :)
Now I hope I´m well prepaird for the season!

My first race will be in Balmaseda, Spain on Saturday. It will also be the first time I meet my team mates for this year. We will have some new girls in the team aswell. Will be fun to meet them.

We will also get a new sponsor and new colours.
I like it :)

Taking off for Mallorca tomorrow, again :)

Two weeks pass fast!
Can´t remember what I have done... Had some easy days directly after Mallorca, and then we got a visit from Sweden. A friend of Thomas, and his girlfriend stayed here for a few days. We went to see the Lindt fabric. I have passed the fabric a lot of times, and yes it smells wounderful, but I have never been in it. So it was on time! Mmm, choclat :)
This week I´ve been training quit easy aswell, since I go for another two weeks tomorrow. This time my dad meets me up from Sweden together with two friends to me, Jessica and Madelen. Also cyclists. Fun with company on my trainings again!
Now I have to pack.
Soo long!

Trainingcamp #2 is finished

So, now I´m back in Switzerland again. Had two good weeks on Mallorca! In the last minute I got company from my team mate, Mireia and her boyfriend. They stayed with me and my mum for one week. It was fun with company!
I also turned 23 while we were there, got a spa visit with mum as a birthday present. We spended four hours at the spa, and we also got a massage. Really nice and relaxing, perfect restday!
And on my birthday I got a visit from Marie Lindberg, wich was fun! She was there with her team and lived in the next village just, so not so far away..

Came back from Mallorca yesterday. Quit late but had time to see the finish of Tour of California.
Today I had brunch with my swedish friends in Zurich :) Had almost no dinner yesterday, except for the ordinary sandwich you get on the plane, and we didn´t meet until 10 o´clock this morning so I could eat a lot!!
After the brunch I spend the rest of the day with my friend Carolin at her place.
Watched "Australia". Quit good. Then we made some dinner and do what girls are best at, talk!! Also a fun relaxing restday.
Now I´m sitting at home and watching the last stage of Tour of California. Crossing my fingers for Thomas!!

Taking off for Mallorca

Today at 5 pm I leave for Mallorca. It will be nice!! My mum will meet me up from Sweden. This time it will be just me and her. We will stay in Alcúdia and will be gone for two weeks. This trainingcamp will be a lot of intensity... In other words, hard! But less hours due.
I hope it will be good.

Trainingcamp #1 is finished

I got a lot of long and nice rides on Gran Canaria! In the end I were tired due, but after almost 60 hours in 15 days, I think that´s normal... Now I´m in Switzerland for the first time this year. A bit cold but I have just been taking it easy. Will try to recover as much as I can and prepair for my second trainingcamp on Mallorca, 7th of February. Only two weeks left...
Take care,
Catrine

Training record :)

I´m still having a great time here...
Two days ago I did my longest training ever, in all kind of ways.
Emma Johansson (http://www.emmajohansson.com) is also here and I got a perfect day with her and her boyfriend Martin. We went around the whole island. It took us 7 hours and 30 minutes. 198 kilometers and 3678 meters of climbing. I weren´t much of help just sitting behind, but believe me, I had to take my as up the hills myself anyway ;) It was a quit hard day, first time I do over six hours, but it was fun! The time went by fast.
Yesterday I had a restday. I think I needed it. Spend it on the beach with mum again. Had perfect weather for the beach, sunny and around 22-25´C.
Today I were alone, did 4:40. Tomorrow I hope I get company, either by Jessica or Emma and Martin. The time goes a little bit faster with company.
