I was born in Kiruna, Sweden, in the summer of 1963.
A two-languaged childhood and a wonderful nature for outdoor life gave me
a memory for all my life, but in 1983 I tried to find my fortune here in Stockholm.
And believe it or not, I found it in the shape of a wonderful girl, called MONIKA.
We married and are today a happy family consisting of us two and three lovely girls,
ZANDRA, JENNY and THERÉSE.
I work as a foreman at KG Knutsson in Sollentuna.
My spare time occupation is first of all of course the family, but
exercise/training/racing take a great part of my spare time.
I grew up with cross country skiing as exercise and race form in a small
club together with a becoming World Champion but never on the same level as he.
I also played ice hockey a little but after my removal down here I became
a long distance runner. I sold my skis as I couldn't find any suitable
skiwax for the surface in Stockholm!
1986 the runner career suddenly ended owing to knee damages and I
hibernated until 1995!
In 1995 I was persuaded by my fellow workers to compete in Rösjöloppet, and I got
at last the needed ignition, however 15kg heavier!
We founded KGK Runners in the summer of 1995, which we later the same year renamed
to TEAM KNUTSPURTEN that you might have seen or heard about.
I am the leader for this TEAM and we have an extraordinarily good internal
sponsor co-operation with our company, KGK, and especially
with the departments
Kamasa TOOLS, NGK, SACHS, HELLA, SWF and DEFA.
Externally we co-operate with LÖPLABBET in Solna,
former Sportskokliniken,
the best sports shop in this town!
The TEAM participates in several runraces from early spring
to late autumn and I compete almost in every race near Stockholm with surroundings.
I compete also in some Mountainbike races type Kjells Tur and FINNMARKSTUREN.
I exercise hard trying to reach my personal aims and I like the extreme
courses for example: Xtreme Running course in Ursvik, No 1 by the way,
Lidingöloppet last years Tjurruset at Lida FG, Stockholm.
I use ASICS shoes, Gary Fisher mountainbike and an assortment of clothes from
NEW LINE, ASICS and NIKE. For the sport year 1998 we change clothing collection
to LÖPLABBET´s own line. I eat
substantionally and drink water strictly to manage
to get around the courses. I use Victell Elite as meal contribution and Vitargo,former Carbomax
for the final preparations before a heavy exercise or race. Try it and you will
experience a great difference specially in the recoverment!
I have in october 1998 become a member of Studenterna
in hope
to improve my self as a runner and reach my very high personal aims for the next year:-)
BUT NOTHING OF THIS WOULD BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT A GREAT UNDERSTANDING FROM THE FAMILY!
Enough of me now. If you want to see or hear more about me you have to
try to find me in the exercise or race courses during this millennium! Good luck.......
