I am back in California

I am back in California again. Been here for a week, but not done very much. Felt kind of tired after Vegas, and England. 2 competitions, plus the 8 hour time difference, drained me a little.

It was fun to have my mom here, and to meet up with dad in England. I miss them both allready!

Done 5 contest this year. 2 at Camp Pendleton, The USPF Nationals, and WPF and WPC World Championships. Won all 5! So a very good year for me. 

Received my Best Lifter Award from the WPF Worlds. I wasn't there to receive it in person, when I had to fly to England to make it to the WPC Worlds on time for weigh in.

Here is a picture of me with the award! .

MOM'S BIRTHDAY

This weekend I have been enjoying together with my mom. 

We have been to the beach, enjoyed a few coffee's, a little shopping, and some cooking.

The tradidtional "bløtekake" was off course on the menu, and no one makes it better than mom!

We had a great time!!

Rick Valente just finished up making a video about me, and my life the past years.
