The calm before the storm

7. November 2018

I am already on my way to Scandinavia, where we will be able train and jump on snow again.
These are the last general rehearsals for us now, before the World Cup starts next week!

October was very intense.
We had some good training courses - even on the "ice track" on the hill in Innsbruck. This is a different feeling than on the plastic tracks, on which we jump in summer.

After these intensive weeks we got the opportunity to spend a few days to recharge our batteries.
I spent them at the Falkensteiner Hotel in Jesolo. It was great to spend 3 days relaxing, eating well and also do some sight-seeing. I went to see Venice. Incredibly beautiful and an unique city.

The last days before our departure to the north, I have again enjoyed home with good training and within my own 4 walls.
From now on I will not see these walls as often anymore.
So far, it was difficult for us in Austria to get winter feeling with temperatures of about 20 degrees ;)
As beautiful as the autumn was, I would have preferred more cold and winter atmosphere.
That's how it will be in Scandinavia. I'm looking forward to feeling the snow under my skis again.

I can hardly wait for the season to finally start.
The first World Cup takes place again in Wisla. There I hope that I can make a good start and then come through the season with a good flow.

I'm actually still looking for the right music playlist for these upcoming competitions. If you have a few songs for me, I would be grateful if you send me something!
I will call-out via facebook and I am happy about tips that you can send as comments on my post.

I hope you could enjoy the autumn and now you´re also looking forward to the winter ... or at least to ski jumping;)
