Arrived in Down-Under

Ich habe gute News für die deutschsprachigen Leser von dieser Website. Diesen Winter schreibe ich jede zweite Woche einen Blog für die Zürichsee-Zeitung. Der Link für diese Kolumne werde ich immer hier publizieren. Für alle die interessiert an meinem Leben am anderen Ende der Erdkugel sind, lohnt es sich also meine Website regelmässig zu besuchen. Zusätzlich wird es hier eine kleine Zusammenfassung auf Englisch geben. Hier also mein erster Blog: http://www.zsz.ch/blogs/frischluft/ein-lenkrad-fuer-den-beifahrer/story/18926975

By the 2nd December I arrived in Sydney. The place where I will spend my whole Winter. Or actually I will spend another summer here, because it’s summertime down-under. I spent a great first week at a Family of a good friend in the South of Sydney. I was swimming, kayaking and chilling a lot. After those first days of acclimatisation I moved to Narrabeen to the National Institute of Sport. It’s a great place and it’s a big honour for me to train with the squad coached by Tim Jacobs. The main training Partner here is Olympic Champion Murray Stewart. I think I can learn a lot from these guys and surely improve from the hard training. The first trainings were pretty hard. I think I still had to adapt to the different time zone, a new boat and a completely different training system. But from training to training I felt better and my first week in the Sprintkayak is already done. Tomorrow I will compete at the „20 Beaches“ the biggest and longest Surfski competition in Sydney. I guess it helps that my Kayak roots come from the wild rivers in Switzerland.
