Welcome to a new week
and today I am going to show you something
we're at Ranheimshallen
the boys and I are going to run the half marathon in Madrid
and we have found the best sponsor ever
Hoka
you need to help me, Ola
this is almost like Christmas Eve
I gotta say something first
everyone is getting a pair of Clifton 6 the black one
and Carbon X as well
which is a running shoe
it's probably the lightest Hoka shoe
we are going to use them during the half marathon
the rest of the guys are training together every Tuesday
we are starting the vlog by giving away some pair of shoes
it's so much fun giving away stuff
I hope they'll like them
perhaps, Elling, the boss will stop by during our session and say hi
he has broken his collarbone
or his shoulder
hopefully, his legs are working
let's give away the shoes
 
I have no idea, just check the sizes
 
now we are finished with the session
everybody got their new shoes and I think they are happy
it's time to call it a day
and I swear that we will be the fastest guys on the start line in Madrid 29th of March
at least we have started training
 
I think it will be a lot of fun
but I have to thank the world's best sponsor
thank you for fixing shoes to all of us
it's so nice of you Hoka
 
I appreciate them so much
 
let's call it a day
and I'll see you later
unfortunately, I am not going to be a part of the Norwegian Championship this weekend
but that's life
I'll be a part of it next time
I will do my best here back in Trondheim meanwhile
let's call it a good Tuesday
someone got really happy for their Birthday gift and that's good
let's go home
this is the lunch for today
in this bowl, I have some salad
some spinach
heart salad
some fermented onions
chicken
cucumber
some broccoli sprouts
and some sweet potatoes
I am just going to watch some Tv
the Norwegian Championship is going on
I have just trained
and I thought I should watch the sprint
I'll just find something to watch on the Tv
however, the main plan is to eat all this food
this is very healthy
 
it's very tasty
life is good
 
they got a little burned, but it doesn't matter
 
sitting here while everybody else is competing in the Norwegian Championship really sucks
I should have been in Drammen right now
but it wasn't possible to do it the way I wanted
I'll come back even stronger
anyways, I'll just eat my food and then we'll talk later
soon it's time for my second session
do you think it's bad that I'm not competing?
or do you like that I am staying at home?
both
I really want to be there
it would have been a lot of fun
but some has to watch them compete as well
you, me and the Star are watching them compete
yes
we'll see how fast they can go
exciting
 
we are in Granåsen
it's a new day, which means new opportunities
finally, I managed to bring Ola with me
he is going to film many clips
which is very nice
Imma try to have a hard session
 
we'll see if there is any power in me
I haven't been feeling quite powerful lately
 
but who knows? Maybe I will today
 
will it be successful?
it didn't feel like that during the warm-up
it hasn't changed yet
let's go!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I think that was the most controlled interval I've had this season
I went really slow
and controlled
my heart rate was good
or okay
I won't say that I am getting better
I am very happy that I am not competing this weekend
my legs are not good
I need to get treatments on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
and then maybe I will manage to compete in Falun
we'll see about that
time will show
the good thing about this
is that I am home and can start working on the trails for the Ski Tour that will be here in Granåsen in few weeks
the problem is...
the competition is classic
and I went skate today
there is nothing good about being home anyways
the trails for the Ski Tour aren't even finished yet
but someone is arranging a ski race in Granåsen today
and people have started to show up
let's change some clothes and move on
 
are you happy?
I think it looked good
what about my technique?
I have nothing to say about your technique, it was good
that's a good sign
but I am not fast enough
it may look good, but I am going too slow
it's time for us to end this session
it's Saturday
there are still some days left until the World Cup
time will show
we'll see
I am at the hospital
I am going to take some X-ray pictures
unfortunately, I hurt my arm
I have just taken the photos
and now I am trying to find the orthopaedist who will take a look at them
but I can't find him
never mind
we'll see
I am waiting for him
 
an orthopaedist is going to take a look at the photos
my hand is very swollen
it's a bone in my hand that hurts a lot
I just got inside the car
I am waiting
because I have to take CT
they took some X-ray photos a moments ago
they think it can be broken and therefore I have to take CT
 
the skiing season is getting darker and darker
I have to take the CT
hopefully, I don't have to wear a cast
this sucks
my head will collapse if they tell me that my hand is broken
I will go inside and take CT and then we'll see
 
I have been waiting in my car because I can't deal with hospitals
this is not looking good
see you after I am done with everything
 
as I told you when I was sitting in my car
I told you that I was going to take CT
and then I would check in on you later
I now know what the condition of my hand is
 
the conclusion is that a bone in my finger is broken
 
this is what my hand looks like
they had to connect these two fingers together
as you may see
the doctor told me to be very careful for three weeks
 
but I ain't got time for that
Ski Tour will be over in three weeks
 
Ski Tour is starting in two weeks
which means that the finger has to be good in two weeks
then I have to...
speaking of...
I have to take this
my doctor is calling
I just talked to my doctor
 
the conclusion is simple
 
I am not allowed to train by using my fingers
and I have to wear this at least to the 13th of February
then the doctor will take a look at it again
and then he will tell me if I am allowed to go the Ski Tour
it has been my goal for this year
I have no idea what I am going to do if the fingers don't get better until then
I will not manage to compete during the World Cup in Falun next weekend
I am not allowed to compete
I'll have to sit home and watch them compete again
there will not be any chances for me to win the World Cup
 
 
what should I say?
I can tell you what happened
I love competing
and I had to yesterday
my friends and I were playing bowling
the bowling went well
but when we were leaving we saw a boxing machine
one of those machines where you have to hit the hardest you can
and then the boxing glove will get hit back up in the machine
 
and you'll get a score
we were supposed to hit the hardest we could
I love competing
and I hit the hardest I could
I get the best score
very happy about that
but of course, we had to do it again
the problem was that a different machine was standing next to the boxing machine
it was made of iron or something
 
so when I hit the boxing glove
my hand slides on the side of the boxing glove
 
and hits the other machine that was standing beside the boxing machine
I hit the hardest I could
 
I felt a terrible pain in my hand
and I was afraid that I had broken something in my hand or my finger
 
which I have
 
I can now tell you that it really sucks
and that I shouldn't do it etc
 
but at the same time
it's very important to me that I don't stop living a normal life even though I am a skier
 
doing fun stuff together with my friends that I rarely meet
is very important to me
and it gives me a lot of energy
it really sucks that it ended the way it did
 
but the accident has happened
and there's nothing I can do about it now
hopefully, the hand will get better fast
it would have been a lot of fun to compete in the Ski Tour
 
imagine doing that with a broken finger
 
that's my goal
and we'll see how it goes
that's the only thing I can focus on right now
I'll try to think about other things
I have trained legs
I'll go skiing without poles
and I will run
I will cycle
I will keep training
I have given up the World Cup victory
but I haven't given up winning competitions
I will keep competing in 2020
and through this season
it sucks
I don't like talking about it
the worst thing I know is people who hindsight
people, who starts asking questions like: why did you do that?
but the point is...
if I knew it would turn out like this, I would never do it
I won't stop living
therefore I need to handle this by myself
I will try to stay positive
and work hard
I have nothing more to say about it actually
this week ended worse than I thought
I have been at the hospital for three hours today
and they have taken a lot of photos of my hand
that's life
I will try to stay positive
and then...
I think we should call it a week
and will give you an update next week
 
it's really hard
but that's life
what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, they say
this is not going to kill me
it gets harder and harder
everyone deserves to be challenged
that's life
let's call it a week
and then I'll see you next week
see you later guys
life is hard sometimes
