Cross Country Champs

After our last post again some time passed. We had our training camp in Portugal with the national team, where all of us participated. There we had some good and technically challenging trainings. I think it helped us a lot to get back some routines.
After all the trainings in Portugal we came back to cold Austria. On sunday it was time for the Austrian Cross Running Champs in Vienna. Our goal was to run the long distance and win a medal with the team.
Warti had a bad day and was far behind. Markus and Kerschi, both ran a very strong race and achieved the individual placings 4 and 5. So it was my task to do my best to fix our medal. Unfortunately from km 6 to the finish I had some problems with my stomach, maybe due to a virus that had caught me the week before.
Finally just 5 seconds or two placings would have been enough for me to finish in place 17 and get us the gold medal. That is truly not the best feeling. Although also the silver medal is quite nice and next year we will be back stronger.....

While we ran the Cross Champs Tobi ran at Lipica Open and was not very satisfied with his races full of mistakes.
