- But your body is perfect for cycling

I mean it. Your build is ideal.

- Is that just a professional remark?

210 km!

Have you ever

felt like this at a race?

Last year in Vaasa, remember?

On the last day of the stage race

12 m headwind.

I was a zombie afterwards

You should feel like this every time.

- I see

Can you make it home?

Yeah, but Oona and I had

planned to go kayaking tonight

Looks like I'm too weak

to hold a paddle

Did Eetu call you?

Yup. If he goes on with your method,

he'll soon be good for nothing

It's only temporary.

He'll soon be back on the ball

It's just that I booked us a kayak.

- I could fill in

I'll be fine on my own.

- No, no. I can come

Well. Why not.

- Where and what time?

At the rowing club, eight o'clock.

- I'll be there

Why are you reading a biology book?

- Got the entrance exam in July

It's just hard to find time for reading

Let's go

Keep up the pace.

- I am

You're using too much force

At the beginning focus on pacing

The strength comes years later

- Yeah, yeah

The stroke always starts in the small

of the back. Or lower. In the groin

Same as in cycling,

keep your body relaxed

Now you're telling me

how to cycle, as well?

Arms stretched out

Excellent

You lost it again. Concentrate.

- Don't tell me about concentration

Are all cyclists that stiff?

- For god's sakes, shut up!

Good. Now you got it.

- Yup. I've figured it out

One just has to synchronize

the strokes and the breathing

Hey, should we go out to the islands?

- Kind of far for a beginner

You think I'm not fit enough?

- No, but... sh*t, no!

What?

- A sailing boat!

Where?

- Directly behind us! Hurry!

Where to?

- Sh*t! It's coming straight towards us

I can't see it!

I can't see anything anywhere!

What was that?

- Sorry, I don't know what got into me

I'm sure a funny guy like you

can take a joke

I'm nothing compared to

a comedienne like you

My treat.

Hi. Two beers

There you are.

- Thank you

Beer. I shouldn't

One beer won't hurt

a sporty guy like you

Nervous about the date?

- You wouldn't call this a date?

I mean, aren't you seeing each other,

Eetu and you?

Ah well. We'll see what happens

He's a nice guy.

- Absolutely. Eetu's great

You have a girlfriend?

Have you had one?

- Mainly bad luck

You cycle really beautifully.

- Thank you

Such a beautiful night.

- I had a good time

Despite the killer boat?

- You handled it really well

Sweet dreams.

- For you, too

Hi there!

That was a long training session

Yup.

- How's coaching coming along?

Very well.

Eetu's really getting there

I had my doubts about Oona,

but she's turned out OK.

She's paced Eetu a few times.

- Oh, are they going steady?
