I am focusing on swimming these days, and swim a lot with paddles and pullboey. Had some indication last year it made me a bethe wetsuit swimmer, and will try to push that even further in 2010. My goal is to get out of Eidfjord in less than 1h, and hopefully not longer than 1o min from thefront off the race. So about 60% off my swimming is with paddles/pullboey now.
And also some XC roller skiing has been done ass you can see in this video. Good for upperbody strength, and good from my first try at Vasaloppet, www.vasaloppet.se, in March. Still not enough snow in Kongsberg to ski, but it will soon be here.
