Quiet Saturday night after a busy day, thoughts about that.

So as the day dawns in Europe it will be the Father's Day. Because of this I wish the Best Father's Day to all fathers that might be reading this blog. I hope you are able to spend it with your family as right now I'm physically too far away from my Dad to do that.
Also it is the reason why I wanted to dedicate this post to my father. He has set me an example in his life on where hard work, determination and passion may take you. And with those three qualities only sky is the limit. The hard work that requires sacrifices from other areas of life, but sacrifices that are worth it and forgiven because of love. I can already compare my sports career and the sacrifices that I am making to reach my dream and it gives me faith that I will succeed.

So with your example, Dad, Thank you and Happy Fathers Day! Will see you and Mom in a month.

Then about my day I visited the Milwaukee Mile track today with my coach for Indy car festival. A three day festival that peaks today with a 200 lap race for the Indy car cup. You can find a video of the race under this text:

The race took about 1,5 hours and only had 3 crashes with someone spinning on the track but luckily no big collisions. I have to admit that even though it was my first time in a real car race I simply loved it. Just the massive roaring of the engines when over 20 top-tuned cars accelerated over the starting line was just the example of that incredible power that they've harnessed into those vehicles. My ears are still ringing, almost 6 hours later. Got some sun burn too but that was bound to happen at some point. So enjoy the video and tomorrow will be the time for Speedskater tricks number 2!

Sitten vielä Suomeksi eli Hyvää Isänpäivää kaikille iseille jotka mahdollisesti tätä blogia lukevat! Toivottavasti saatte viettää Isänpäivää perheenne ja lastenne kanssa :) Valitettavasti tänä vuonna olen itse kaukana omasta perheestä ja siksi halusinkin omistaa tämän blogi postauksen isälleni.
Hänen asettamansa esimerkki toimii minulle mallina siitä miten kova työ, intohimo ja päättäväisyys voivat viedä juuri niin pitkälle kuin vain itse haluaa. Kova työ, joka vaatii toisinaan uhrauksia elämän muilta osa-alueilta. Uhrauksia, jotka kuitenkin ovat pieniä sen rakkauden rinnalla, jota omaa vanhempaansa kohtaan tuntee. Pystyn jo vertaamaan niitä uhrauksia, joita itse annan urheilun eteen, näihin asioihin, ja se tuo minuun uskoa siitä että tulen onnistumaan omassa tavoitteessani.

Joten Isä sinun esimerkistäsi, kiitos ja Hyvää Isänpäivää! Nähhään kuukauen päästä.

Then back to other stuff in English. I had three days off from training now. The reason for that was the loss of breath while I got out from the bed on Thursday morning. Even after having a good night sleep I felt like I had just finished jogging.. Also my heart rate started going up even when I was just sitting down at work, so I was definitely in need of some rest. After these three days I feel like I am ready to get back to have fun at training and mentally again ready to push myself over my next limit.
