Last Saturday I was told that I would be going back to the Emirates to help with our manufacturing, so this week I booked my trip. I will be gone 8 days, but the last two I will be in Stockholm for my first Swimrun race.
I thought I would be done with all my travels back in march/april, but it is starting to feel like I might be making this trip a few more times through Dec.

Less than 11 days left until Fredrik and I make our debute in Swimrun.
Last night we jogged around a lake for 6.5km together. I had 1km before meeting up with Fredrik and 2.5km after to get up to 10km.
No pain or discomfort today so that’s a good sign. I thought we held 6min/km but we were closer to 6:15. But we were relaxed and talked the entire time.
Depending on the weather I think stockholm swimrun will take us about 3.5 hrs –> 2.5 running and 1 swimming.
It is not something that you see everyday, but my wife was witness.

Sounds weird to say retire when I just turned 40, but yes in 100 days I will compete in my second and last Ironman triathlon.
The amount of focus and energy I put into my training 2012 to 2014 for my first IM is not there any more and I don’t see it coming back in the near future. Crossing the finish line back in August was like running off a cliff. A really tall one that took approx 38,920km over nearly 1700hrs (1600km swimming, 18660km biking and 3050km running) to reach passing through race after race. I pushed my limits and managed to do things I never would have thought possible four years ago.

I have said it before and I will say it again, anyone who leads an active life really needs to find a someone they can trust to help them keep their body going; a massage therapist, a physical therapist or a naprapath.
Over two years ago I was introduced to Leon Hobro from Dynamic Training & Rehab. He kept my body going through my IM training and has been a big part in my return to training and my new goals with SwimRun this summer.

Through a funbeat contest I won a condition test at Aktivitus in Stockholm worth 3800kr!
It includes:
An advanced test on a treadmill and stationary bike. A VO2 max test either running or biking and based on those results I’ll get a 16 week training program.
This was just the motivation I needed to get rid of my belly!
Since I’ll be going to Stockholm for Nationals and hopefully in great shape I’ll do this testing before lunch on the first day.
I thought about posting my goals, but for me 2015 is going to be not just setting goals and working to achieve them, but setting goals and challenging myself to push my limits.
