All in



We have been on Las Playitas, Fuertaventura one week. Comboweek, holiday, honeymoon and training, to be honest a lot of training on the erg and in the the gym, also some qualitytime by the pool.



Holiday for me is time to read books. This time i have reading Björn Ferry, Ferry tales, swedish bithlon skier, olympic champion 2010. Really liked the book who is about his last year , 2014, as an athlete. He let you know what it takes to compete at the highest level, the demands that always hunt you, all sacrifices you must do to have a chance. He was so afraid to be sick so he stayed home on the new yearsparty because he didnt want to meet other people, If his son or wife didnt felt good he chose to be apart from them though he just went home after 2 week training camp, his brother was life threatening sick by this time and could not meet him as much as he would to do.

Its about total dedication, ruthless and tiredless strive traying to do everything possible to be better then ever, that means in all life and training , for example he increased his training 35%. From april to oktober he trained over 90 hours a month.

The book bescrive how alone you are as a top athlete though family, teammates, leaders and other staff, you must relay on your self, do it your way and dont lett nothing disturb you and your goal.
Its also about life, meening, pricemoney, masturbation and importans of to have goals to strive for. He is very open with his thougts about politics, he is aware of the envoirement, climatchanges and what had to be done to save the planet for coming generations.

The gave me some wakeups and also a lot of inspiritation that can help me in different ways.
Fantastic athlete that i miss badly in the winter, watching television, his interwievs always classy, a real character!
