Yesterday I met up with Mathias at lunch to give the first of three on-line qualifiers in the Solid Open a shot.
The first WOD a 15 minute AMRAP
As many rounds as possible within 15 minutes of:
6 CHEST TO BAR PULL UPS
9 SHOULDER TO OVERHEAD 30 KG
12 FRONT SQUATS 30 KG
So 10 months after TYR Warriors (Fredrik Björn & I) sign up for this summers Swimrun races we finally made it to a starting line. Last Saturday we started and finished the 28km Stockholm Swimrun.

Finally after five weeks of competitions the Open is over. A lot of excitement and fun for the cost of only two movie tickets!
Going into the Open I was set on only competing in the Masters 40-44 scaled division. For the most part due to my lack of skills and strength.
So Monday afternoon I met up with Fredrik who had been sick over the weekend to perform WoD 15.5 again. Fredrik was going to do the scaled and I was going to try to beat my Friday time of 14:29.
After a short warm-up Fredrik was ready. We had a sign posted with the reps and times after each stage to give each other an idea of what the end time could be. Fredrik did really well, one minute faster than my time from friday. Continue reading
Thats how I felt this morning after completling the Open 15.5! For the first time in a very long time I’m sore all over. I’m a more sore today than I was after my 27km swim and my first IM a week later.
But let’s back up.

Lots has happened since I last had time and energy to blog. So instead of one really long blog with lots of topics I will give a short description of each and if you want you can read more or skip it and go on to the next.

So yesterday I had time over to make an attempt at 15.1 Rx. I felt recovered from Friday’s scaled attempt and had planned on working out at 16:30 anyways.
I get to the Box, and warm up. Due to a miss-communication between me and the manager, I wound up having to wait 30 min extra, but I was able to judge two others. I had now seen four different people do the Rx and three others do the scaled. After doing my own scaled, I realized quickly that going from 38kg to 52kg was not going to be an issue, but going from hanging knee raises to toes-to-bars was going to be my Achilles heal.

This morning I did my second real WoD. Maybe not the best timing, but I am so out of shape there is nothing I can do now that will help or hurt me.
Tomorrow I pick up a van, and then four of my teammates will head to Falkenberg, 180 km away, for the Swedish LCM National Championships.
I am taking a step back from going all in and swimming all the individual events, this time I will only swim eight races over three sessions.
Today was the first annual Superloppet. I was hoping the girls would follow along but Lily was at her first swim camp and Jeanette didn’t want to take a chance with the weather.
I arrive 20min before the start and as I walk to the starting area I see lots of kids dressed up, and the even more parents. Superman and Batman were very popular. Silversurfer, Hulk, kick ass, poisen ivy, spiderman and many more.
As many of you may already know. Fredrik Björn and I have decided to test out Swimrun next summer.
I am happy to announce that we are lucky enough to have two companies backing us. TYR Sverige will be providing us with the aquatic equipment we need for the races and Leon Hobra from Dynamic Training & Rehab will make sure we are fit for fight come race day. Our team name was going to be Ironman & Phantom, but we changed to to TYR Warriors. Continue reading
