Portugal!

Today I'm heading back to Portugal, but for a totally different purpose than last time. I'm participating in the european CanSat competitions there. You can find more info on our blog Cansatsptc.blogspot.com

Roadtrip

Unexpected roadtrip would maybe describe it better.. Yesterday we decided that we'd do a roadtrip to Haparanda with a couple of friends. It's about 5 hours each way by car, so me and Daniel is driving one way each. There's not much more to say now but I'll probably make another post when we're on our way home :)

The pictures doesn't really need much explanation. It's simply those who are coming with me on the roadtrip :)

Hard work pays off.

Today I competed in Karis Telefon Games, and it couldn't have gone better. I'm happy to say that I did my best competition so far in my life and that it really feels like all my work is paying off. I improved my personal best in Shot Put by 1.02m and discus record by 2.69m. My PB's are now 14.73 and 45.79.

Atleast in discus I am ranked third best under 19 with that result, which is the best ranking I've ever had. I don't have much more to say now, so I'll show you some pictures from today.

What I do regularly on competitions to help me concentrate.. Sounds weird but it works for me.

On the road again

Right now I'm on my way to Ekenäs by bus. Our track and field team has organised a "competition trip" to Karis Telefon Games, which takes place tomorrow in Karis. Tonight we are staying at a hotel in Ekenäs, which is about 20 km from Karis.
I'm competing in my first shot put competition and my second discus competition for the season. I'm a bit nervous since it will be the largest competitions so far this year.
Anyways, I'll try to get a long nights sleep now before the competition. I'll try to update the blog with the results and some pictures tomorrow after the competition.

Training, driving, and work

The last week has been really stressful to say the least.

 On monday I drove my father to the hospital in Oulu, so I got my first full day on the road, which was both exhausting and fun.
On tuesday I got the wonderful news that I'm gonna get a summer job after all. I get to work at the same place that I've worked at for the last 2 years, and I've enjoyed working there both years.
Now on wednesday and thursday I've been helping out as a trainer/leader at my track and field teams summer camp for the younger kids. Of course it was a bit tiring, but it was fun working with kids so I can't complain.

To make yesterday even better, I got a new personal best in Clean. I lifted 1x120kg for the first time in my life, and it felt great since it has been one of my goals for the season.
