Mon Aug 14, 2006 -The Norwegian women’s team ended their recent training camp at Kvitfjell with an 8-kilometer uphill rollerski time-trial. Ann Eli Tafjord was fastest (Marit Bjorgen at the start of the time-trial).
Tafjords time was 31.18 and she was 33 seconds ahead of Marit Bjorgen Tafjord opened up her lead in the first and steepest part of the time-trial, while Bjorgen kept the same pace on the second half. -I was tired, but able to push hard the whole way. It’s nice to get the test over with, says Ann Eli after capturing 100 points for the victory in the girl’s internal competition to wear the yellow camp-jersey.
Astrid started the race with the Jersey, but lost important points by only placing 8th today. The girls need to be good in several events like time-trials, explosiveness, speed and candy eating in order to win the overall internal competition.
So far its Astrid, Guro and Ella that’s best overall. Astrid won the 60-meter.
