Some notes from Storulvån
Ahoy!27 Feb 2013 | 11:37 amBack from the Cross Country Grund course and reporting!Day 1, Feb 21, ThursdayThe day started waking up in the night train, an hour away from our destination, Enafors. Enafors station is small and unremarkable, almost too easy to miss with its short platform. I remember not being able to tell which side the platform was, in summer. In the snowy February landscape, the platform was next to invisible. Susan and I managed to open the train door to the wrong side and ended up in the middle of the tracks, wondering where the hell out in nowhere we were. “Wrong side!” the conductor shouted from… -
Winters are too short around here, don't you think?
Ahoy!19 Feb 2013 | 10:52 amYear 2010 on the infamous “Joy's hill”. Cross-country skiers' mördarbacke (hill of death) is a relative term. Don't see a hill? Actually, nor do I!My plan for the winter was to improve my tour skating technique (rather, to acquire some technique at all), so I was in the ice rink with the skating club for four Thursdays in January, trying to work on getting that long, effortless glide. I think I might have just gotten it, about time too, on the very last session. The instructor thought that I had considerable improvement. A club member who saw me last year on my very first Bambi-steps on… -

I wanted to take my thesis to Linköping and graduate there. I wasn't sure if the scholarship rules allowed this. My study plan indicated that I was going to spend until June in Holland. And according to my own plans before the scholarship, I… -
Dear contributor...
Ahoy!28 Jan 2013 | 12:49 pmThe awaited decision came today. The second rejected article in the last six months. The referee's and editor's reasons for the decision this time are in a long list of small comments about everything from the premise of the article to specific words. It feels like getting a term paper back from a teacher, with the margins filled with small comments and yet with nothing there to grasp. Okay, maybe I'm just sour. Actually, I am pretty sour.With the first article rejected, I thought “OK, better luck next time. The article could use some improvement”. With this one, I actually cried. I know;… -
Reading about running
Ahoy!19 Jan 2013 | 7:56 amI've always enjoyed reading about runners’ experiences of marathons and ultramarathons. I wrote about this before. I love the way that, in hindsight (and perhaps with some after-construction?), they describe how they took themselves through a big physical challenge. It's like a genre on its own, with a plot. They start out feeling like Flash Gordon himself, satisfied with their lack of tiredness. Then the fatigue slowly creeps in and hits them somewhere at 30 kilometers. Their legs and feet, which until now were strong friends, start to work against them, but there is still quite a bit to…
