Springwinter at Orsa… April 2019.
Been a bit of a week for me. I was in Orsa, Skattungbyn and Orsa Grönklitt for ten days doing a total of 183 km mainly classic cross country skiing mixed with biathlon and freestyle. The first days were beautiful with sunshine and quiet weather. This was followed by a night with 30 cm of […]
En Route to Vasaloppet 2020, testing the new Madshus Redline 2.0 (DP)
I am so fortunate as to know these fantastic guys up at Orsa Grönklitt. While I have been home since Vasaloppet training away at Thorax and RollerSafe they got another period of dense snow fall up here with 50 cm a couple of weeks ago. This means that the conditions now are nothing short of […]
En Route to Vasaloppet 2019, two days to Kortvasan..!
Wonderful weather in Orsa Grönklitt today. -1°C, sunshine (+13°C in the sun), light wind: Beautiful! After the mild weather the last couple of days the tracks were hard and perfect today. I aimed at 20 km keeping the heart rate in control around 80% (ended up at 83%) and double poling all the way. […]
Back at Orsa Grönklitt
In my preparation for Vasaloppet 2019 the preseason has been marked by the scarcity of snow in both Sweden and Norway. The snow didn’t come until two weeks ago but now that it is here the decision to go for a New Years stay was easily made. I have the Craft Ski Marathon to attend […]
En Route to Vasaloppet 2019, day 1-8
Now begins a new adventure. I am already returning to Orsa Grönklitt for some more snow skiing at Easter. Albeit only for a week, I hope to do some thorough testing of my new Madshus Redline IGS in more optimal temperatures and snow conditions than what was present in the weeks before Vasaloppet when it […]
En Route to Vasaloppet 2018, day 342
What a great day. From start at Oxberg – Mora, Kortvasan 30 km in 2:27:37. The best 30 km classical ski run I have done. I had it in me to do better but I held back a bit since I am going to participate in Halvvasan on Tuesday. Marcus Laggar of Lager 157 Ski […]
En Route to Vasaloppet, day 329
Grönklitt Ski Marathon is well over for me but with a bit of mixed feelings. I haven’t been training for the past four weeks since my dad came home from hospital with a cancer diagnose and passed away only 4 days after. He should have been here with us today… Sometimes life sucks. Suffice to […]
En Route to Vasaloppet 2018, day 313-328
Finally they are here! The Madshus Redline IGS that I ordered have finally arrived in a span that fits me perfectly! It will be a hard choice tomorrow at Grönklitt Ski Marathon between those and the Redline Cold. Probably going with the Cold. Thank you to Conny from Skistart in Älvdalen for being such a great […]
