We had a great week up in the cottage, it was exactly as a winter holiday should be, skiing all day, sauna in the evening and straight to bed after that. Strangely enough we did not hear anything from the kids after 7 pm, they just crashed all of them, I was not late to follow…. 

I was a bit nervous before my first run on my downhill skies, could I still do this?? But just when I started I felt that it was still in my legs, felt like I´ve never stopped. It came a lot of new snow one night and the next day we could ski in powder snow the whole day, it was great fun! The last day they held they annual Easter race, my brother and his oldest daughter take part every year and they new the course and the slope (I blame that…) cause I got beaten by both of them, embarrassing, I have been a professional….. Oh, well, I give them that:-) 

I did some cross country skiing every day, that was better cause then you get warmer, in the skiing slope it got too cold for me, it was so soon after my return from South Africa:-) During 7 days I did 160km cross country, and it is awesome training! 

This week I have been at home in Falun and gotten used to my new bikes, I am getting used to them and they feel great! Specially the TT bike, even though I have been racing for a few years I have never tried a TT bike, have only used bars on my road bike, this was a bit different and took a while to get used to. Now I feel that it will be even more fun to do TTs! 

Next weekend it is time for my brothers little daughter Maria´s baptism, after that I will head down to Alrikssons in the south of Sweden and just after that it is time for the first race of the season in Sweden, am looking forward!
