6th at Finnish national championships

Not the place what i was expecting with that kind of run. Actually the level of competition was something i have never seen before in finland, there was so many riders in just few seconds and just tenths in between each rider. Track was really good and fysical with few hard places and that´s why it is hard to imagine how tight racing was.
My run was pretty good, only one little mistake as i ran into a rock on last turn which was pointing towards finish line.
Next i will be racing XCE (cross country eliminator) finnish champs on friday night in centrum of Hyvinkää. Should be good fun and good training!

Here is top 10 results from Messilä:

Aki Färm 1:03.13

Matti Lehikoinen 1:03.41

Jari Karjalainen 1:03.55

Mika Sukanen 1:03.77

Mikko Lampén 1:04.19

Antti Lampén 1:04.32

Petrik Jurs 1:04.79

Visa Linnala 1:05.05

Ari Kurvinen 1:06.05

Last but not least, here is few really nice photos by Elise Kulmala

Preparing for national champs

Finnish national championships will be held at Messilä on saturday. I am waiting for the race and doing the best i can to get ready for it. On wednesday we already went to Messilä to see what's the track is like and i felt pretty good about it. Track is best there have ever been and it was fun to ride.

For Oskar this was 3rd time on DH bike since he broke his arm and it is still lacking strength. it seems like Oskar is not able to race on saturday but we will see after friday trainings how is it. 

Today i will do some swimming to recover from yesterday and to give movement for all the joints.

Should be good!

Here is helmet cam run i did yesterday. I was testing inside and outsides to get to know which lines are the fastest, this one is all about inside lines.
