Ski stuff
So I am out at Nydala tonight doing intervals and I meet up with two guys whom I have seen training there all season. One of them was at the loppet this weekend, so I decide that is a good talking point and ask him how it went. Not so good, he says - he was 10th. I ask if he is doing the Vasaloppet. Yes, he probably will. So I ask what seed he will be in. There is a pregnant pause. His friend Per jumps in eventually and says "Johan scored World Cup points last year."Ah. So that would be the elite seed.
Let me reiterate: at a dinky local ski race with about 100 competitors 200 km from a major town, a dude who scored World Cup points last season placed 10th.
Welcome to Sweden.
