Monday, April 02, 2007 Lundanes at RomeleaasenI was perusing the results of a race at Romeleaasen in southern Sweden and noticed a very nice run by a junior. Johan Modig won. He was followed by Anders Nordberg. Tied for third were Holger Hott-Johansson and Olav Lundanes.I recognized the name "Lundanes" but didn't really know anything about him. So, I poked around a bit and found out that he's still a junior. Kondis ran a short interview with Lundanes. Here is a rough translation of a bit of the interview: Do you have a training philosophy? I've always done a lot of easy training. I have high quality on the harder workouts. I don't train O' technique very much in the winter when I'd rather train as much as possible on skis. I feel like I need a break from O' technique during the winter. When the spring comesm, I really want to train technique and race. I use the first competitions as training. I train without a heart rate monitor and I think it is better to learn how your body feels. Heart rate is for me just another number, but the signals your body is sending are better measures of how you're feeling [Note: the translation of that last sentence is a bit rough and I'm not 100 percent sure I got it right]. The most important thing is to believe in what your are doing. I prefer to train alone, so the workout is just what I want. Lundanes also describes fieldchecking and drafting maps as a bit of a hobby. If you can manage the Norwegian, you should check out a short interview with Lundanes on woO-TV Norway. What really caught my eye when I saw the news about the race was the map - Romeleaasen. Back in the late 1980s, I did some fieldchecking at Romeleaasen. I have fond memories of spending hours in the forest and of the hospitality of the Bergmans who lived just off the map and hosted me while I worked on the map.

Lundanes' name came to the big O-world after JWOC in Switzerland in 2005. There he won the long distance with enormous margin to the second (ca.5 min I think...). In 2006 he broke the records, winning all the 6 gold medals on the norwegian jr. championships (sprint,long,ultralong,middle, night, relay). In addition to the 3 medals @ JWOC in lithuania.

I did some fieldchecking at Romelaasen in the middle of the 90s, so I know the place as well. I was actually one of the organizers of the event last weekend as well, although I don't live in Lund (the closest city) anymore. What struck me at the event was not Lundanes performance (since his capacity is well-known by now) but how Johan Modig humiliated the visiting Norwegian national team, winning the middle distance race by more than 2 minutes. Here's a link to the results> http://www.obasen.nu/winsplits/online/sv/default.asp?page=table&databaseId=7321&categoryId=0
