Silvermedal....
September 8, 2009A few days old silver medal from this years World Championships in Canberra is in my luggage, I`m on my way to Switzerland for the next weekends worldcup in Champerey. I feel okay after the race on Saturday, it looks like I still have the motivation for the last two Worldcups and I`m dreaming of being on my bike instead of traveling the whole way back from Australia to Europe.
To earn a medal in a World Championship was a goal as well as a dream for me in future, and now I have one. Things are happening to fast now..First World Cup victory, leading the World Cup overall and a silver medal in a World Championship. I have a lot to celebrate, no doubt this is my best season so far and my big breakthrough international.
So what about the race on Saturday? Well I went for it from the start, good legs and a great bike. I was in front from the moment the start gun went off!
I really tried my best to get the title, but Irina was too strong on the last lap and I was not able to answer to her attack 2km from the finish line. A little bit disappointed when I crossed the finish line but after a short while when my head was clear I was very happy with my first medal in a big Championship.
Take care
