After a disappointing race in Maribor, I decided it was time for a break.  There is a month before the biggest event of the year, the Games in Vancouver, and I need to get some things sorted out by than. I’ve been home since Sunday and have been hitting the gym, the mountain and the beach for dryland training twice a day. I get the chance to be home so rarely that I sometimes forget how beautiful it can be and what great opportunities for training my town and it’s surrounding has to offer. The other day I climbed up the hill where I used to ski when I was a kid and witnessed one of the most beautiful sunsets ever. What makes it so special is that from the slope you get to see the coastline, the islands and even the boats fishing in front of the city! It made me feel like the climb was totally worth the effort. It’s sad that we don’t get the chance to train up there more often, would be pretty cool to be distracted by that amazing view that combines snow and sea while speeding down a course!

I’m taking this weekend off and heading for a mini vacation, it will be good to take my mind off everything for two days so when I get back to training I’ll be full of enthusiasm and energy!

Till than..
