Were did the summer go?

After China Open I had about two weeks training before we went to London to compete in the international tournament Haringey Cup. I had two good fights there in the women elite -60 kg and won. When I got home I traveled to Lofoten on vacation to relax, fish and run in the mountain with family and friends. The nature up there is really beautiful and the midnight sun is unforgettable. Then I went to Liverpool to participate in a big sport scientific conference. I presented data from my PhD and was on a lot of interesting talks in the field of sports. I travelled with old colleagues from the Norwegian School of Sport and Sciences were I did my master in sport biology so we had a fun time.

When I got home after one week without any boxing I was full of motivation to start getting in shape to the training camp in China. End of July we spent 10 days training with the Chinese girls on their Olympic Center outside Guyiang. The training in China was very good. We had 2-3 sessions every day and three sessions with fight sparring. Although they are doing task sparring and exercises a little bit different then us much was familiar. They were working a lot with movement, both legs and upper body movements as we do, but new exercises. So finally home in Norway again we started up ordinary training after summer at Oslo Boxing Club. Tomorrow we start training camp in Oslo and on Monday I’m going to Sweden on training camp until Thursday. Next tournament will be in Ukraine in September. European Champ will be in Nederland in October.
