Excited to launch a collaboration between myself and Giant. Thanks for the confidence

Vilken säsong det har varit, från en start i Spanien (i mars) till ett avslut som så många andra gånger i Eriksdalsbadets pool med en simtävling av klubben jag tränar och tävlar med Polisen (i oktober).
Under året har jag hunnit fara och flänga på tävlingar i Marocko, Spanien, Portugal, Polen, Holland, Estland och slutligen Ungern och givetvis i Sverige. Resultaten har varit väldigt blandade, upp och ner men det jag tar med mig är att jag försökt och gjort allt jag har kunnat i varje tävling för att få en så bra placering som möjligt.

Säsongen i siffror:
⭐️ Nytt 5km personligt rekord under året ‪från 15.04 till 14.45‬
⭐️ Lyckades simma 400m i slutet på säsongen på 4.24
🏊‍♂️ Lyckades göra mig av med 8 par Arena simglasögon, tydligen bott i vatten
🌏 Varit i 7 länder (Spanien 2 gånger) och varit ombord på 20 antal flyg (förlåt Greta)
👟 Använt upp 5 par Nike skor
🚲 Lyckats cykla ytterligare en säsong på mina cykelskor från 2011


Stort tack!
Jag vill rikta ett stort tack till alla mina sponsorer och familjen i Falun, utan alla er hade säsongen 2018/2019 inte varit möjlig. Stort tack till min klubb Terrible Tuesday för att ni tror på mig och gör allt möjligt och Svenska Triathlonförbundet. Även stort tack till Grega Zore– tränare för all coaching under året och fortsatt bollplank för 2019/2020. Sist men inte minst tack alla träningskompisar i klubben och internationellt utan er hade man inte varit så snabb.

Nu tar vi nya tag mot säsongen 2020, den kommer bli spännande!

 Hello!

A lot of things have happened since the last post on the blog, so below follows a small recap.
 
During the summer of 2016, I spent my time in Sweden undertaking an internship at the Nordic corporate bank SEB as a Summer Analyst within Credit Research. After finishing my undergraduate degree exams, I went to Japan to visit my girlfriend’s hometown Sendai.
During my brief 11 days in Japan, I got to experience so many different sites in Japan and challenge my taste buds by eating dishes I have never heard of before coming to Japan. It was a real pleasure spending time in Japan and I can warmly recommend Japan a visit.
My time in Japan, was spent around Sendai as well as two visits to Tokyo and spending a night at a traditional Japanese hotel which was a truly unique experience.

After visiting Japan, me and Yori went directly to Sweden to commence our internships for the summer, me at SEB and Yori at the Karolinska Institutet.

After finishing my internship at SEB I headed back to my hometown Falun to spend two weeks relaxing and training prior to commencing my Masters studies at Cambridge University.
 
During the summer we also had time to, visit Norway and Denmark - some beautiful nature and great food!
 
Now it is the second week of studying at Cambridge. I have been keeping myself busy doing trials for the university teams for swimming and running club. I am looking forward to training with the talented and dedicated team members of the university.
 
Here is some photos from the summer and begining of the term in Cambride :)

I hope to update you about my time in Cambridge more frequently!

This weekend I ran the Cambridge Half Marathon in a freezing temperature and finished 3rd on 1 hour and 11 minutes. 

I felt really comfortable and strong during the first 10 kilometers of the race. Passing 11 kilometers my pace gradually began to fall and I lost momentum.

The last 5 kilometers of the race were really slow, I lost all momentum and had a hard time keeping a decent pace.
Despite this I am very happy with the time and the race I did especially as 21 kilometers really isn’t my cup of tea.

Ill be back next year in the first place.

I will spend a few more days in Sweden before returning to Brighton and my girlfriend, studies and training. 
I am currently in the process of training for the Cambridge Half Marathon that takes place on the 28th of February. I hope to run very well and achieve a new personal best as the course is flat and mostly on asphalt.

More pictures will be added later.

From rain, wind and 10 degrees of warmth to minus 10 degrees, sun and winter-running shoes. I am now in my hometown, Falun in Sweden celebrating Christmas with some amazing trail runs and beautiful nature.

When I run in Falun, I tend to run in the forest or on small roads. Below you can see a handful of picture from my run yesterday.

Some small tips when running for the first time in the cold:
(1) Start easy and get comfortable running in the cold before you do intervals.
(2) Wear shoes that works well on ice roads.
(3) Dress up - its cold :)

Last weekend in the UK was spent with Yori (girlfriend) enjoying a Swedish Christmas dinner consisting of meatballs with potatoes and  "brunsås". We also enjoyed some local pastries alongside some Swedish style tea.
Tomorrow, I am flying back to Sweden where I intend to do some alternative training for triathlon i.e enjoying some cross-country skiing and running on the frozen lakes :).
