Adelboden

Didnt go to plan in Adelboden unfortunately. I have never seen ruts so big in the World cup, on the steep section they were like bath tubs. Out of the gate I got into a great rythym for about 15-20 gates but already there I got thrown out out the course, I managed to move quick enough to get around the gates, from then on I risked everything and eventually went out in the 'really steep' part coming towards the finish. Tough to take after travelling all over Europe for the last 2 races but I am still confident.

Together with the coaches, Tristan and Mike we made the decision I will race the Europa cup in Kirchberg next week rather than the World cup in Wengen because the weather forecast is not so good this week and I will have a good start number due to all the top guys being in Wengen. So a great chance for a good EC result.

Back training in Austria again this week but its also pretty crap weather here too. Not a good forecast ........RAIN!!
