Yep it is true! The guys that help me get through all the endless 60-70-90 and sometimes even 120 minute sessions on the erg during the winter are coming to pay us a visit in Stockholm! If I would just open my kitchen window on thursday the testosterone loaded mental doping would stream into our appartment instead of thundering out. Yess, they will be playing a stonethrow away from us in the old Olympic stadium.
The Ironic thing is though that I wont be home….leaving for Luceren in a couple of hours.
Managed to find a site where all the concerts can be downloaded for a few bucks so no worries. Meanwile you can see if the Metallica radio works down here.
Absolute favourites on my Ipos right now:
- St Anger
- Frantic
- Seek and Destroy
- Sad but True

Thanks a lot Shapy and thanks a lot to Petra at Naturapotheket in Östermalms gallerian!
Though rowing might seem like a very simple thing. One movement, requiring not more than muscles and an ocean of endurance. WRONG. Yess, those qualities are an essential part of it, but they are left worthless if not a prefect technique and feeling for the boat and the water is there. A reason that rowers row thousands of kilometes for just that one race. For me it is important to have a picture in my mind of how I want it to look. For me the best rowing position is not totally natural. I have to constantly remind and reset myself to keep the perfect posture so that the driving muscles can do their work at the most efficient. Frida Sevensson, the Swedish star in the ladies single, is for me the biggest inpiration when it comes to the technical side of rowing. Straight back, straight arms, perfect angles at the catch, hugely effective with legs, powerfull finish, in other words…perfect. (my opinion.. )I hope Louise does not crack my head now that she knows that I think of other women while rowing… haha.
Have a look a look at the following pics and judge for yourself.
Ok, I swapped the huge Nissan Patrol with the 4,5liter 6cyl engine for something else now…It uses less than a 15th of the gas and is even faster in town! Read the rest of this entry »
