The three best energy sources

Where does Baba Lybeck get the strength to keep up with her busy schedule? The three best leisure activities are:

Sport: marathons and triathlon.
Literature: “I just started a reading circle with some friends. We’re currently reading a Finnish translation of Caitlin Moran’s novel How to build a Girl.”
Sailing in the waters off Helsinki.
