Last weekend i wanted to participate in an Austrian Cup competition on Saturday and in Austrian relay championships on Sunday. But it came a little different. After a hard training week i felt a little sick on Friday evening and so i decided to skip Saturdays competition to fully focus on relay. Still the feeling on Sunday was not the best, but i knew the team was counting on me and so i had to compete. Chris on first leg and Tobi on second did a great job and sent me out in third place with some minutes from the leaders but with a assuring margin on the 4th team. So the plan was not to take any risks and try to avoid mistakes in a technically demanding terrain. My race went well, I had great fun running on 1:7500 map scale in a forest with so many details. A little unexpected in the end I was able to pass Martin Pongratz and we won silver. A great day for our young (well, maybe not including myself :-) team.
