Training towards 2012

Blog silence is now broken. I had a bit of break in updating, but to be honest there hasn't been much to report. I've been resting and taking it easy mainly. Now I've moved back to the island and the academic year has started together with new training season.

Off season is now gone and I'm on the prep phase going towards a new season. I had my appendix operated during the offseason and it all went as planned – so those problems should now be well fixed. When I come to think of the next year, I can see so many things to look forward. Clearly the biggest thing for is gonna be in next April, when I'm to hand in my Dissertation. That means graduation from Uni, which is big. Secondly, I can see myself riding my best season so far, as if I can stay healthy for the season during past couple years. The major plan has been created, I know what I'm going towards and I'm prepared to go for it. It's all about the execution now.

At the end I want quote an American speaker and author, Denis Watley, who has counselled and mentored Olympic winners and Super Bowl champions. I completely believe these words of wisdom:

'The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don't define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them.'

A very special place.



During the off-season, or transition phase, I have time do things I don't usually have time for. I spent last couple days with my old friends in my old home town – Nilsiä. I lived there for four amazing years and it is always so good to go back. The town has changed a fair bit during last years. This time I slept on Tomppa's and Krisu's sofa and trained with Tahko Alpine Ski Team. Thanks, I'm aching big time! I rode mtb, did athletics, went to gym and played with bmx. I also hooked up with some buddies from school and even visited one birthday party.

Good times and big thanks!
