We're heading to Sweden on Friday Dec. 1- should be a great time. I will try to post here as much as I can, but we will also have a team blog set up at: www.wntabroad.blogspot.com
After coming back from a nice Thanksgiving at home and then jumping straight into work and practice on Monday, I didn't get a chance to pack until late Thursday night. I *think* I have everything- at least the most important things (passport, shoes, uniforms). We have to carry so much stuff with us because we have to have all of our Nike sponsored gear. Not that I'm complaining about having cool stuff from Nike, just that it can a lot to cart around!
From the looks of things on weather.com, it looks like the weather will be fairly mild while we're in Stockholm. Maybe some rain, but the temperature will stay above 40. Not bad considering the sun is setting at 3:30pm and we'll be really close the arctic circle!
We're scheduled to have our first practice on Saturday a few hours after we arrive. Ugh! Hopefully I will do what I always do and sleep the whole time on the plane. Even still, I'm not sure I'll be in the best shape for running around, especially since we'll be under the direction of one of our "guest" coaches who are hardcore Scandanavian former-Olympians! Wish me luck. Hopefully I'll adjust quickly to the time difference so I can be on my game :)

you're slacking on your posts! :)
Hello Jennifer Farrell.
My name is Thomas Gangstad and are from Norway.
I just managed my way into this site after searching for "Anja Andersen". And I am glad I did.
I play handball as well and I attend a handball high school here in Norway.
I see you attend the American National Team in handball. How is it like to play handball in a country where it is such a downgrade sport? What position are you playing?
You seem like a very serious athlete, since you train so much. Good to see that this wonderful sport is also played in the Us:)
Also, I wish you good luck with your future:)
Greetings from
Thomas Gangstad:)
