This weekend the talent group was gathered once again, that is, those who are going to the Pallas Spelen next weekend. The Kerjalon hostel is closed in January, so instead we stayed at Hotel Tórshavn, where we also met on Saturday afternoon at 15:00. The seven who leave on Friday are Rebekka Fuglø and Marnar Djurhuus, Treysti, Hans Jacobsen, Regin Joensen, Elsa Berg, Sára Debesardóttir, Bragdið, and Trygvi Laksafoss, Hvirlan. Trygvi was with Hvirlan in Reykjavík this weekend.
From training at the end of November. 6 of these are going to Malmö on Friday.
We got ready for training straight away. A short loop around town, and then the Tórsbreyt track. A hard session was on the programme, and most of them had different intervals to run. But they did not hold back. The running was hard and good, and it really looks as though the hard work out in the clubs is bearing fruit.
After training we went back to Hotel Tórshavn to shower, and then on to Elisabeth, Hallur’s partner, for a good dinner. After that we headed to the bowling alley, where the undersigned rather embarrassingly had to bow to a very lucky Hans. We must all have been tired that evening, because by 22:50 it was already dark and quiet in the boys’ room!
And just as well. Because the alarms went off at 7:00. We were due to have breakfast at 7:15, since only two hours later training was on the programme again. First we ran up to the Tórsbreyt track, where we stretched a little. Then we ran down to the new Faroe Fitnes, where we were to go through a special circuit session. This session is called SirkulPuls. You work on the machines for 30 sec and then on a step bench for 30 sec. It took 15 minutes to get through everything. We had a one-minute break and went through it once more.
Then there was a cool-down jog for anyone who felt like it. But nobody wanted to jog straight home. It is very encouraging to see that the will to train really is there. After a shower we had brunch at Hotel Tórshavn, and that brought this camp to an end.
Later in the week there will be more news about the events, goals and opportunities these young athletes have in Malmö.
Trygvi Laksafoss showed good form in the 200 m in Reykjavík. Hopefully the long jump will go well too!
