  Done and I can't move.

  2010-04-18 Last two days have been really good. Saturday's round felt good. 2 under par and that was with a double on the 13th. Missed a 6 footer for par. Was gonna tap it in and I could see the ball was wobbling, maybe moving before hitting it. I was very unsure if it moved but I'd hate to live with myself if it did and I didn't take a penalty so I took a one shot penalty. Worse things can happen but it felt like I didn't really need it when trying to move up the leaderboard. From then on, I played great and recorded 3 birdies over the last five holes and came in under par and I felt strong going into the last round. 
  
  2 under today as well and a tied for 8th place. It was just what I needed- it's been a tough and frustrating start of the season. Not catastrofic but just not as I imagined it. Now, I'm on the right track and I'm more motivated than ever to work hard and smart to move up those leaderboards. Today was the first day in a while I've felt a lot of nerves and high pulse going into the final holes. I love that feeling!
  
  We couldn't have ended the day any better as well. Pierre totally wacked me in the gym starting with legs and chin-ups and then totally smashing me on the tredmill. 10 minutes high tempo warm-up. Then 10 intervals at 1 minute running on 18 km/h and one minute rest in between. Now I feel dizzy, tired, worn out both mentally and physically but overall great! 
  
  Heading to South Korea tomorrow! New week, new challenges!
  
  Pierre loved the camera today and got a few pics from the gym:
  
  
  
  Started with a few warm-up drills for the legs but they felt kind of heavy today. Then 5 sets of deep squats at 5 reps. 
  
  
  
  Followed by all out chin-ups. 19 today.
  
  
  
  10 minutes warmup. Then the brutal intervals.
  
  
  
  The treadmill pulls you along but it was still hard. 
  
  
  
  Done!
  
  Hope you are all well!!!
  See you in South Korea!

  Well done Alex!!!
  
  I know the feeling of not being honest! That's golf, you know! Well done on the 13th!
  
  Have you read my comment on your page 54 of the website? I did post it this morning, the WIN in Crans Montana is still on my mind, and hopefully also in your mind as well I think! :)
  
  A top 5 at least in South Korea, you can do it!!!!!

  Bara ett litet tips från en gammal tyndlyftare. Gör inga knäböj med löparskor. Valvet under skon, alla dämpningar osv är bra för löpning men för knöböj blir det bara ostabilt och vingligt och du kan skada dig. Kör hellre vanliga sneakers, typ adidas superstar eller liknande som har en plan sula till böjen. Sen varför inte fri stång? Måste vara suveränt för golfare som vill ha stabil och stark bål. Djupet i böjen var ju däremot föredömligt djupt.
  
  Bara några tankar i all välmening...
