First of all the link to my latest Blog in the Zuerisee-Zeitung about X-Mas in Australia: http://www.zsz.ch/blogs/frischluft/weihnachten-im-sommer/story/27464847
The time here Down-Under is passing by very quickly, tomorrow my 7th week is already starting. It will be the most exciting week Down-Under so far and that really means something, because here are happening so many cool things every day. The reason is simple: from Saturday to Sunday the New South Wales States Championships will take place on the Olympic Regatta Course in Penrith. Because it is the last race before the Aussie-Trials all the National-Team paddlers will use this competition as a last test. That means I will already get a good feedback about my shape and especially how the different training here works for my paddling. Beside of all this it is also a nice experience to paddle at an Olympic Venue! The Sydney Olympics were the first I really remember and definitely motivated me, because I just started paddling in that age.
If you want to follow the races you can check out Online-Results on this Website: http://regattas.canoe.org.au/?events=1127
I will race all the distances, so that means 200m, 500m, 1000m and 5000m all in the Single Kayak. As always bet the more money on me, the longer the distance will take! Because I only know Murray Stewart and Ken Wallace from racing at Worldcups it’s very hard to predict what I can achieve here. The Australian paddlers belong to the best in the world, so first I try to achieve the Final over 1000m and then see what is possible there with a good race!
