NTNUI VOLLEYBALL WEEKEND

Mar 14th

I’ve had a great weekend doing mostly volleyball related things. It all started out with the annual NTNUI cabin trip:

This year the trip went to “Stykket”, a boyscout cabin in Bymarka, about 25 minutes of skiing from Lian tram station. There, about 20 of NTNUI Volleyball’s finest gathered to have a blast, playing cards, snow volleyball and eating “pølse og brød”.

The snow was falling thick on Friday afternoon and evening, and even more snowfall joined Saturday, perfect! I had a great (but a bit fast-pased) skiing trip with Nina, Rune and Ole before we locked up Stykket and headed back to civilization; and the second scheduled volleyball event:

Saturday afternoon, H2B were match officials in the ladies’ premier division match in Rostenhallen. Despite being pretty dead tired after the cabin trip, everything went ok, without too many glitches. Unfortunately, the NTNUI ladies lost.

Sunday, two of the three last league matches for H2B were played in Åsheimhallen. To make it as painless as possible, I’ll just say we lost both matches and returned home to enjoy the beautiful snowy weather and the rest of the weekend, completely volleyball free!

EASTER HOLIDAY PART 1: RISOUL

Apr 12th

The first week of this year’s two week Easter holiday is over. I’ve had a great week in the French Alps, more specifically in Risoul.

The short story of the week is as follows:
The bus picked us up at 23h on Friday 3rd of April. I got food poisoned by something I ate the same day and puked three times during the bus ride (9 hours), the first time after 5 minutes of driving. Great start.

The slopes were good, but the snow a bit slushy in the afternoons. We had grouped ourselves in dinner teams and it worked perfectly, good an varied food each day!

Geir got sick after 2 days with high fever and only got four days of skiing, Nina caught his fever the two last days. I sprained my ankle during snow football (which we won by the way) and missed one day of snowboarding. A bit of tape and snowboard boots stabilized the foot enough after the first day.

All in all we were a bit unlucky, but it was still a great trip. I’ve learned to do goofy and 180s properly, but I’m still struggeling with 360s. We’ve done a lot of off piste, amazing fun!

Next up this Easter is the Road trip to Spain!
