Weekend in Falun

Hi everyone, I've been absent for some time, but I'm hoping to be back now.

I will start writing here every week so you can take part in my experience.

This weekend I've been in Falun, a beautiful city in the middle of Sweden. It was an amazing time and I'm back with great news.

My first goal, going there was to see a high school for triathletes. I liked it and the conditions to practice are really good. They everything a triathlete needs to work out in the winter.

 This is the velodrome with scary curves



 The first time was just slowly trying the new bikes






Next day I had an indoor triathlon competition, with 400m in a swimming pool, 8km (42 laps) in a velodrome and 2km running.
I felt really good and I leaded from the swimming to the running. The swimming was easy and well done in 5.00 (about 1 minutes advantage to the other girls), the cycling was hard and fast, doing 8km in about 12 minutes and cycling in 45/50 km/h in a velodrome with deep curves that seemed walls. In the running I felt very good.

On Sunday I was running with poles in a hill called "the Killing hill", a new way of working out and the beginning of the training to ski.
The killing hill is just near a ski jump track

There was also time to visit the mines of Falun, one of the biggest in the Europe.

Now I'm back home, ready to rest for one more week.
