Here we go again! Preparing for new competitions. The startup has gone smoothly, I have completed a lot of mixed training to build and strengthen my body to withstand the training load to come. Our team has gone through a lot of exercises together and useful knowledge has been exchanged. Every year there is a lot to be changed or improved: shooting position, technique, training methods and so on.One can come close, but there will always be something to improve when you are a biathlete. This delights me, to work purposefully and to push myself to new heights.
The long skiing season has really been amazing here in Sjusjøen. I went skiing until the 19th of May! Nice to be able to take advantage of the long lasting snow conditions here in Norway. I find it really effective to work on my skiing skills for this long a period after the contests. And skiing in springtime is really something unique, with the pleasant weather and a nice crust. 

So, a new season has commenced and I am really looking forward to training and working hard to improve and take the next step towards the top!
