Hilde Gjermundshaug Pedersen crushed Marit Bjœrgen in the tough courses at the Norwegian 7.5 + 7.5- kilometer pursuit championship on Saturday and cruised to her second championship in three days
 and it was a little tactical to save my energy for today’s pursuit. I’m still getting in a nice intensity block with three races in four days.</p>
<p> Worlds start in a little more than two weeks, but she is not sure how many races she will race yet.</p>
<p> – There are many races, but I’m mentally prepared for that. It will be decided right before Worlds. Five races look ideal at this point. I want to race the 30-kilometer classic. The 10-kilometer and the classic sprint are my weakest events, but I want to race the 10-kilometer skate race if I’m feeling good, says Gjermundshaug.</p>
<p> She is leaving for Seiser Alm along with the rest of the team on Tuesday.</p>
<p>– I could just as well have stayed at home. I have never felt a positive effect from altitude training. I’m scared of getting sick, but the team it’s a closed environment and it’s easier to get sick at home</p>
<p> The goal is to win gold at Worlds.</p>
<p>– It doesn’t matter if it’s in a relay or individual. But it would be great to win individual, says Gjermundshaug with a smile.</p>
<p> She is racing Sunday’s relay with her twin daughters Ida and Eli.</p>
<p> – They have said that we are racing for a top ten, and I’m diplomatic and support that goal.</p>
