The talent group got together over the weekend, and on Saturday the commands rained down on us. We were at Vælvera Fitness on Heykavegur in Tórshavn, where instructor Rune drove us hard. First came half an hour of Body Combat, a high-intensity workout with punches, kicks and booming techno music.

Some might have thought this was a casting for the new Karate Kid film.

After a mouthful of water, the next half-hour began with a workout called Body Attack. Here we had to work even harder, with plenty of press-ups. We worked so hard that after only a short while both the mirrors and the windows were completely steamed up and the floor was swimming in sweat. But we got through the session, and afterwards several of us went for a run.

From the session on Saturday.

We had first met at the swimming pool on Friday evening, where the young athletes could play and splash about in the pools while the coaches discussed various matters concerning the talent group, such as coordinating training.

On Saturday morning we went for a walk out to Boðanes. From left: Karin, Katharina, Sára, Elsa, Rebekka, Rúni and Hans.

On Saturday evening we relaxed at Hotel Streym, where we stayed the whole weekend. A fun and exciting quiz was held before we went to bed. On Sunday morning we trained at Tórsbreyt, where Jógvan Glerfoss had come to look after the sprinters, while Gutti and Hallur each took charge of a group doing interval sessions. After training, birthday girl Elsa invited everyone to her home for a good stew with risalamande to follow.

At 14:00 we all went our separate ways. The talent group will meet again in Klaksvík on the weekend of 16–18 March.

A different way to enjoy the weather. Everyone needs a pat on the back now and then.
