Finnish Nationals.

Today the finnish nationals for 18-19 year olds started here in Savonlinna, and I competed in shot put. I finnished 6th with a new personal best at 14,84m. Tomorrow I'm competing in discus throw, and I must say that I'm very nervous for the competition since it's my main event.

Today, after the competitions, I went with my mother on a "guided tour", or cruise, by boat. It lasted about an hour and went by Olavinlinna and around in Saimaa and Vuoksi.

Back in business!

It has been a stressful summer with little to no free time, which has resulted in my inability to blog as usual, but now, when I'm done with this summers' work, the blog is back in business!

Right now I'm in Savonlinna for the Finnish track and field nationals, so I'll be posting a few updates during the weekend when I'm here so stay tuned!
