<p>The 40-year old got a cold right after nationals.<br />
– I lost three training days, but am now back again. It’s not ideal to get sick, but nationals showed that I’m in good shape. I’m not getting out of shape that fast. I didn’t have a fever, it was just a cold, says Gjermundshaug.<br />
She is because of this dropping the altitude camp in Seisser Alm.</p>
<p>The camp is only one week long and I can just as well stay home. I’m not worried about that at all.<br />
– I believe in what I’m doing at home, and I just have to make the best out of the situation, says Hilde.<br />
She is traveling to Reit im Winkl for next weekend’s World Cup races on Thursday.<br />
– I’m doing a few easy workouts followed by a few hard sessions before departure, explains Hilde. </p>
<p>A few extra days at home doesn’t hurt the veteran.<br />
– I’m enjoying the extra time at home with the family, so this isn’t negative at all, says Hilde G. Pedersen</p>
