En Route to Vasaloppet 2018, day 11+12
Been grey and raining here while I have been waiting for the roller skis to come back from Norway. Finally got the return shipment notice today, so tomorrow they will hopefully be here. Busy day at work though to occupy my mind. Once you are set on something the hardest days are transition days when […]
En Route to Vasaloppet 2018, Day 10
Another transition day. Waiting for my new RollerSafe to arrive. Been occupying myself with bringing and picking up the kids from daycare. Missing the action!
En Route to Vasaloppet 2018, day 9
New PB for roller skiing. 14.09 km/h for the usual distance. Feeling good! On the other hand I am to send the roller skis back to Norway but the good news is that they will send me a brand new pair due to the half impaired braking ability of the ones I got. Again top […]
En Route to Vasaloppet 2018, Day 8
Today I broke another PR for roller skiing. The ‘usual’ distance of about 8-8.5 km this time going 13.99 km/h an average in classic technique. This is still a short distance rather flat track but considered that I am going slowly downhill and parts of the course is in traffic (crossing roads, etc.) I am […]
En Route to Vasaloppet 2018, day 7
Been out testing the roller skis today and had a joyful ride. Service did them good in terms of rolling ability but they are a bit hard still on braking from higher speeds going downhill. One of the skis seems harder to manage a none blocking brake maneuver than the other. So right now its […]
En route to Vasaloppet 2018, Day 6
Very short status. Got my RollerSafe back today but too late to go out. Looking forward to testing them again tomorrow.
En Route to Vasaloppet 2018, day 5
Still down with a cold! But today there are good news from Norway as RollerSafe are sending the rollerskis back with service, 4 new wheels and new brake pads and on top are sending me a jacket for free just as token of them being extremely pleasant folks! Jacket, value 97€ 4 new wheels, value […]
Vasaloppet 2018, day 4
Today I am down with a cold. Good News from Team RollerSafe in Norway though as they received the rollerskis for service. Short message, I know but it is uphill today… Here is some more training options from Brynte and Ramm. We have lots of waterworld facilities in Denmark too. Just think about family dads […]
En Route to Vasaloppet 2018, day 3
Today is a transition day as my RollerSafe has been shipped to service in Norway. I had a very pleasant customer service experience with these Norwegian guys. I can only recommend them in the strongest positive ways. If you are interested in buying or testing rollerskis but unsure about the braking ability then please do […]
Day two on the way to Vasaloppet 2018.
Been away on rollerskis again and I noticed that if my max pulse during a training session goes up towards 180 and over that then my corresponding blood sugar level goes down to about 5-6.5 which seems to indicate that a high maximum pulse even for a short time frame has a positive effect on […]
Vasaloppet 2018
The preparations for Vasaloppet 2018 begins today as I have just secured a starting place for the race March the 4th. The goal is set at seeding for a better startposition than I had at the 2017 edition. For this purpose I have acquired a pair of RollerSafe classic rollerskis. Actually they are the reason I […]
Vasaloppet 2017
Sedan jag var barn, har jag drömt om at göra en nordisk klassiker. I 2004 tog jag första steg mot det då jag cyklade ‘Sjælland Rundt’ (300 km cykellopp) för sen då att skulle ha klarat av exempelvis Vasaloppet och en simtävling inom ett par år. Livet bjuder dock inte alltid upp till dans. I […]
