The second round of the Sunshine Cup has finished. Leaving me with many impressions. For the olympic qualification this race had quite some importance, since a lot of the important UCI-points was thrown into the pot. On the points-side, I achieved the best possible result since I walked away with the overall victory

What a ride!.. Once again the bike feels light, the legs great, my team super. The season is now being kicked off here on Cyprus with the Sunshine Cup, first round of the cup today. I was pretty excited to see how my level would be among the other girls, who belong to the world’s top riders.

Then I’m about to pack my suitcase and move out of the pleasant warm temperatures and back to cold Denmark. I’ve had a great time based at Club La Santa, but it will be great to get some home-feeling before taking off for Cyprus, where the first races of the season will be (the Sunshine Cup).

A week in January
January 20th, 2012
This week I’ve been living as a roadracer! Together with the danish U23 road boys I’ve been exploring literally every inch of the roads here on Lanzarote. Based at Club La Santa training has been very easy, since I only have to worry about training, eating and resting. I’ve even managed to almost read an entire book, which I can’t remember, when I last did. The U23 training is very organized. We ride in groups of 6, side by side, shifting at the front every 10th minute. We even have a support car behind us all the time. Very different from the mountainbike training I normally do, so please bear with me. I think this is makes an exellent base for my further training. The boys are very strong, so if you are interested in roadracing, my hint would be to watch out for them during 2012! Read the rest of this entry »
Something new
January 9th, 2012I listened to my gut feeling and just did some last minute changes for my 2012 season. Looking over my travelling and race scedule and my study plans, I though “ough, that’s going to be really tight!” My stubbornnes made me capable of combining the two things last spring, but I also think, that partly resulted in my being absolutely deadly tired the last half on the season. What I’ve also learned is, that biking at my level is not only about biking. Many things, events and focus on my person come with that. Till now, I haven’t had much energy to enjoy all that, but have more tended to see it as disturbing elements. I wan’t to make more room for that, sort of enjoying the “whole package”. I think, the skills I’ve collected, will help me find the balance between giving and drawing the line. Read the rest of this entry »
Happy New Year!
January 5th, 2012
2011 is past and a new season is on it’s way. Soon I’ll be training under warmer conditions, and the first milestone will be my training camp on Lanzarote. First I’ll do some roadmiles with the national U23 roadteam, then I’ll join a friend of mine on Fuerteventura ( the neighbor island ) and finally go back to Lanzarote to spend some time on the mountainbike with a 4 day stage race. Man, looking forward to this, is almost the only thing getting my through this cold and wet danish winterweather! Read the rest of this entry »

Yesterday a journalist asked me, what the best part about being a mountainbiker was. I didn’t hesitate to answer: “my everyday”. Right now I enjoy my time in Copenhagen training with the guys, combined with local races. This is pure reloading towards next year. It reminds me, what made me mountainbike in the first place.
