In tomorrow race they draw the top 7 from the ANC rankings, so the worst I could get was 7, however today there was a tie in one of the spots so they drew the top 8.
I really love sleeping! I just feel so good when I am on my "training strikes"! Good food, lots of physical activity and at least 8 h of sleep really gets me in a good state of mind!
What also makes me happy are these new spy shots of the new Lamborghini "Jota" It is still a pretty heavily camouflaged test car, but I feel like the side air intake looks pretty close production, a detail I really think looks kick ass! I hope the rest of the car will be as far away from the Murcielago as the side intakes are, its much more fun with a totally new car!
Cant wait to see more shots of this car! According to both the Swedish and Monaco Lambo dealers this car will be deliverd to customers in may next year… That is if you put a down payment on it now (without seeing it) if you wait for the revealing of the car it will be next fall… hmmmm
What do you guys think of it?
Day of in NZ land, need to be super fresh for tomorrows ANC race!
I really love the fact that my brother has started blogging! That means that on a day like today when I have to many e mails and not enough time, I can just re direct you guys to a great post Hans just wrote about my first day back in ski racing! Thanks for a great post Hans!
I am going to let Johnny Drama speak for this one!
I am so stoked right now! I came out this morning to the New Zealand GS Championship with good confidence, but I knew that my late start nr could be an issue. I finished a strong first on snow that was the worst I have seen so far in my race comeback, still made it into a third position from bib 14.
In between runs I was super confident, I just sort of had a feeling that I would win today, a feeling I could really get used to!
After a tough top part on the second run I nailed the important turns and carried good speeds onto the flats, even had time to talk to myself saying “lets win this one” coming through the last few gates… When I heard the guys scream as I crossed the finish line I know that it was good, but I still had to see two more guys go down before I knew the result. When Espen passed the finish line close to half a second behind me I know that I had done the best result of my race comeback!.
Scoring a 10.94 result means that I will move up in the world ranks from 85th to a 64th when the next list comes out, and even more importantly moving me up to nr 3 on the Swedish GS rankings, something that I am more the thrilled about!
I had had a few doubts on my skiing this summer as I had been testing a lot of new things and not figured them out yet, so to get this result meant a lot to me as I know that all the hard work has paid off!
Still two more races to go down here in NZ, with a better starting field and hopefully a better bib nr in the first run I feel confident that I can improve my rankings further! I also think I learnt a little more about how to pump myself up for a racing, all I thought of today was to throw down as hard as I could and not worry about anything, think that is the winning way for me!
Right now its time for a jog to freshen up the legs and get ready for another day of improvement on the hill tomorrow!
Super pumped and really happy about everything, the feeling of winning just kicks some major ass! Its just such an amazing feeling!
The dream of making the the 2014 Olympics is now more alive then ever!
As the weather was worse then terrible the race was cancelled! I am not complaining as that means that there will be a "re draw" tonight, meaning I get a new chance to get a number better then 13…
Lets cross our fingers as it will make a huge difference in the soft snow!
Here we go again! Drew start nr 13!!! (racers ranked 1-15 coming into the race draws for the first 15 nrs), I have really been sort of unlucky here in NZ, nr 1-13-15-13 is not what I would have hoped for! Especially as they just got more snow yesterday so I guess we can expect soft conditions…
Kill crush and destroy is todays strategy! (just found out the Norwegians are racing so it should be an interesting one!)
After crushing cates its time for a hair cut, been thinking about it for a few months but I think its finally time to do it! Maybe I should cut it with me new super awesome Leatherman that I got yesterday?
Have been asking everyone for tools for the past few weeks so I thought it was time to get my own stuff!
