It feels good but at the same time sad to end the season now. My body had enough racing, my brain not.. I`m still very motivated since I had my best season so far on the bike. But It`s time to let the body rest for a while and do something else than traveling/racing every weekend.

My shape is still good which I proved in the last two World cup`s in Champerey and Schladming just after the World Championship in Canberra. Never before in a end of the season have I been so happy about still riding my bike, normally It`s not riding my bike thats on my mind just after a final World cup. But on Sunday I went for a nice two hour ride alone in beautiful weather listening to my music on my iPod. So relaxing and with a smile on my face

The World cup in Schladming was a short race and I was trying to ride as hard as I could from the start. I was never in the front together with Lisi Osl so I knew I had to fight for the second place in the race and in the overall. She was riding very strong in the hard course in front of her home crowd and she won the race about a minute in front of me. I`m happy that I started the season strong and also finish it strong!

Take care!
