Race at Patuxent

On sunday, the whole Bjorgul family left for Patuxent River Park. The map is located east of Washington DC. Astrid ran a yellow course on 2.9 km. She raced fairly good and got 3rd. Ane ran the red course which was the second longest. It was about 8 km and Ane took it easy due to bad running shape, but overall had a good day in the forest with no major mistakes. 

Ida and I ran the longest course, both wanting to beat the other. I started out fast and good in the easy terrain and was leading by about 3 minutes punching the 4th control. After that Ida showed good technique and kept the speed up. I went on a three control miss and the Bjorgul lead was brought over to Ida. On the longleg it only differed 4 seconds between us and we both chose the same route. Ida finsihed 2nd overall 

with 83 minutes and only 3 minutes behind the winner. I was a little farther down the list.  I will beat her next time in Philadelphia if I take away the mistakes. Enough with the peop

le.

 To you MAP interesting people, it's a base map from 1991, but was revised in 2004. We didn't find any irregularities in the terrain and the trip was a good experience.

Valentine's Day at School!

Today we've celebrated Valentine's Day at Albemarle. The day is also Recomendation day where all the freshman, sophomores and juniors decide what classes to take next year. We have approximately 30-35 minutes of every class and some time to decide what electives you would like in the middle of the day in the big gym. That could be ceramics, drama, music, band, photography or computer science. The seniors like to call the special day "Senior Skip day", but this year they'd get double absences if they skipped a class. This might lead to skipping tomorrow!

 These last two weeks, we've been able to buy songs, roses, balloons, a kiss or candy to a friend for Valentine's Day. The most popular choice was a song. Singers had to choose a love song and a song for a friend. During this thursday the groups of singers walked around singing love songs dressed up in pink and red with musicplayer under the arm. At the end of the day i think i've heard about 20 lovesongs been sang to classmates brought up to the front of the class and surrounded by "musicians". 

Since I am a junior and not staying for another year, I didn't have much to do. Ane had been sick last week and had to make up some work and actually had a quiz.

Target / Duke vs. UNC

I kveld dro vi en tur på Target. En stoooor alt muligbutikk. Noe som kommer veldig tydlig frem er at det ikke er lenge igjen til Valentines Day. Hyller opp og ned med rosa og rødt i all

e mulige smaker og fasonger. Ida o

g jeg fant et litt annerledes kostyme:)

Denne uken er det rivalry week i college basketball. Storkampen i dag er Duke mot nabouniversitet UNC som bare er 24 minutter unna hverandre. Begge lagene har vært ranket som nummer 1 av collegene i USA, men begge har også tapt et par kamper og da mista øverste plassen på rankingen. 

Neste store event er NBA all stars som begynner torsdag 

med alle slags dunke og skyte konkuranser. Det hele avslutte

s med the all star game på søndag med øst mot vest. Kobe mot Lebron igjen!

I'm back!

Nå er jeg i USA :) Reisen gikk veldig bra, og etter 2,5 time i pass-/visakontrollkø ble jeg til stor glede møtt av hele familien på flyplassen. 

Første dagen har jeg brukt til å sjekke ut forholdene på det lokale tre

ningssenteret og shoppingsenteret. It's all good :) Men innkjøpene lot seg vente, siden jeg ikke hadde tatt med de obligatoriske rabattkupongene :)

Nå har vi kjørt Petter på trening, og senere i kveld skal pappa og jeg reise for å se Ane spille sin siste bortekamp før sluttspillet.
