The picture is me beeing silly in Klosters hahaha I dropped Britt off in Ellmau. She would leave for Slovakia the next day with Pepijn to ride a FIS SBX.I met my coach Frank German and my fellow teammate Rob in Bad Gastein for the World Cup SBX. The next day we checked the course but we couldn’t ride it yet so we went to the Felsen Thermen. With the world cup credentials we could enter for free, NICE!
The next day it was the first and only training day. Rob and Frank went earlier because the guys trained first and after a nice breakfast I joined them on the course. The course looked fun, rollers on the landings and take offs of kickers and that kind of monkey business. After looking at the guys training it was our turn. I gave the kick off of the training and it was on. It was a pretty fast and cool course.
After training we evaluated it and had a bite to eate because we were starving at that point.
Qualifyingday… pooooring rain and all the teams seeked cover under the trees and whatever they could find. I started pretty late in the pack of girls and was driven to end up in the top 16. The top part went really well, pushing everything and staying uber high in the burms. After half of the course I crashed really hard in a burm and the lights went out for a sec. When I convinced the docters on course that I was ok I went back up, iced my face (read now swolen and blue) and started on my second run. It went well, I was fast but made a little mistake at the end and ended up in 19th place. Bummer but now I can’t wait till the next World Cup!
