The World Championships are over, and so is the pacing-myself too! For three weeks I’ve been pushing on with a wornout mind and body with 2 broken ribs. The last couple of races have been like digging a hole under me deeper and deeper! Now, I’m changing strategy and pulling the plug to recover so I can start climbing towards the surface again before it’s too late
After the World Cup I went train tripping through the Alpes. 8 hours, up to 40 degrees Celcius in the train, 4 bags ( including a 35 kg bikebag) and 3 connecting shifts made the trip less relaxing than I had imagined. Sunday evening I was picked up in Martigny by my boyfriend, who had arrived in Geneva.
We have had a nice week with training, checking out the course and relaxing. The weather has been great and very hot, but this morning I was woken up by a fresh breeze to see the mountains covered in light snow. Maybe I should have brought my skies to 
Do you believe that!? Only second participation in the Marathon World Championships and already I’ve achieved the best possible result – winning! The stepup was so fast, last year bronze, this year gold. Great results come from great stories..
My very first world championship medal, that’s something special!.. I crossed the finishline cheering more than anybody else, so excited about grabbing a podium position
Min første VM-optræden rakte til en 23. plads. Jeg er nu tilbage på dansk grund med masser af gode oplevelser og erfaringer rigere. Der var rigtig mange indtryk, der skulle fordøjes i løbet af ugen samtidig med at der var et cykelløb, der skulle køres. Tilbage sidder jeg med følelsen af, at det her game vil jeg gerne have mere af og til tops indenfor!
I kraft af gode mine gode resultater i sæsonen er det lykkedes at få billet fra Dansk Cykel Union til VM i Australien i starten af september ´09. Sammen med to andre danske ryttere, Klaus Nielsen og Jonas Pedersen, skal de rød/hvide farver forsvares!
