How's it going?

First of all if you haven't done so yet please visit the SRM blog and read my article and give me some feedack on it! In fact if you have questions or comments on anything I do, product I use ect. I would like you to get in contact with me! Or if you want to work with me and do something great together or even get on a date with me, we might be able to make that work too... :)

I have some very cool new stuff coming for next year which I will unveil soon after things are being confirmed.

Swimshop Triathlon Challenge for this year has ended. The interest and attention was good, but there could have been a lot more participants. But a big thanks and congrats to those who took part! It just seems that Finnish people are too intimidated to do anything where they can't be completely anonymous! I'm especially disappointed that no one of my friends took part!
Anyways please give feedback on this also so that we can make things better next year!

Oh yeah regarding the lack of feedback: IT KILLS ME!!! seriously people, I have written a 12-article column for a newspaper this year and I have had 2, two, dos, due, två, kaksi!!! people comment on those. If you want me to stop writing please let me know that too. even that would be better than no feedback at all!

Ok, enough ranting (maybe).

No real training happening yet. Just some unstructured excercise for about two hours a day. I need to be super careful with my nutrition when being less active as I seem to have become metabolically quite efficient (don't need a lotof fuel to survive). It's a good thing but I need to be constantly hungry not to gain weight!

I have been thinking why my run has been so sub-par and why I've been injured so much lately and there are some biomechanical issues I need to correct. Please notice that I'm not speking in golf-terms when I say sub-par. So it's not birdies, eagles or albatross I'm speaking about! I'm not that active a golfer anymore (nor a big bird-fan) but of course if someone wants to make a movie of me or want to get me starring in a movie, I'm more than happy to get an invitation to Florida or anywhere for a few rounds!

I've had a ton of schoolwork in the past couple of weeks and I try to get as much done as possible before X-mas so that I can devote more attention to training and recovery again when training starts to ramp up.

Ok, I lied about the ranting. Here's some more:

TO DOG OWNERS: please keep your dogs on a tight leash when walking in public areas! I got bitten to my hamstring yesterday on my run and that damned thing hurt! Fortunately nothing majorly bad happened but next time I might bite back!

Lastly, over the years I have gathered quite a bit of useful stuff that has gone unused and I would like to get rid of all that to ease my (hopefully nearby) move.
So check out my sales page here and you can find good bargains there. It's in Finnish but if you don't understand then ask.

that's all for now,
