For a couple of years I've been participating in a number of running events. The distances has been varying from 10km to a complete marathon. Now I'm extending the running with swimming and bicycling, since I joined the triathlon club Triathlon Väst. This picture is from Falkenbergs Stadslopp, a quarter of a marathon. I'm afraid my parents didn't have any high speed camera, that's why the picture is so blurred. :-)
Here i'm running my first long distance triathlon in Kalmar (Ironman: 3800m swimming, 180km bicycling, 42195m running). I finished after 11h38m42s.
I will be back!
This is the TFD Chalmers team that participated in the Försvarsmakten
Adventure Races in Skatås in 2002. From left to right: Magnus Stridh,
Mattias Billson and Håkan Nilsson. We finished after 6h25min in 11:th
place out of 18.
Another picture from the Försvarsmakten Adventure Races in Skatås in
2002. Magnus is tired.
Water has always been an important element in my life. Here I'm snorkling in Greece in the summer of -97.
I've been scuba diving since -91. My certificate level is Master scuba diver. My specialties are deep diving, wreck diving and ice diving. Here I am diving at the enormous wreck of Zenobia, a swedish RoRo ship, off the coast of Cyprus. The depth is 30m. Have a close look at the picture and try to figure out which way is up!
Here I am practicing ice diving in Sisjön, Gothenburg.
At least one week a year I am trying to go skiing or snowboarding. Here I am snowboarding in Storlien.
Below follows a series of pictures from a trip to Serre Chevalier in southern France. They represent my ambition to do it all. At this picture I am climbing Via Ferrata. It is actually as steep as it looks, and if I fell I would go all the way down (ie. if I didn't secure myself, I'm not stupid).
I have been mountainbiking in Sweden as well, but this picture is from the trip to Serre Chevalier.
Here I'm canyoning, ie. going down through waterfalls using a climbers rope.
Hanggliding is something I have been thinking of trying for a long time. Since I don't know if I want to continue with it I only tried tandem hanggliding. I'm afraid I won't continue hanggliding since it is expensive and time consuming. And I've already been doing too many sports that is weather depending ... I hate it when I can't do something I like because the weater is bad.
A friend of mine took me waterskiing twice and I am proud to say that I already manage to use only one ski.
