...or at least Austria's Long Distance Championship was hold in a terrain, nearly as difficult as at WOC in France this summer. The organiser said in advance, that we will face challenges on a high level, demanding control areas with a lot of stones and stone blocks in between. The JEC Long...

The Swedish Long Distance Final offered quite a lot: Long legs, route choices, demanding terrain, due to the high amounts of rain,... I think, I had preferred less rain during the last weeks, so that the ground hasn't been that soft and the marshes that deep. Anyway, we take it as it comes. The...

First part of Swedish Long distance Championship is done - with place 7, I qualified for the final tomorrow. My race today was very good, without serious troubles. The character of the terrain changed in between, with more details on the last part. Therefore, there was more undergrowth until the...

Currently, I am in Sweden, waiting for the SM Long.

Thanks to some colleagues in the army sport center, I enjoyed the feeling of flying. I...

 Some days after the WOC in France, I want to make some short analysis. I took twice place 17, in long and middle (5th time palce 17 for me in a WOC race) and 14 in relay. Well, on the one hand an improvement to last year, but on the other I hoped for a little more, or better said, for less...

Furthermore, the next evening my home commune Pinggau and my home club commune Pinkafeld organized a welcome party in Pinkafeld, together with Richard. I...

Today, I can look back on two unforgettable days in Brasil. So far, my best position at Military World Championships was a 8th place on the long distance in 2008. As every year, I tried to improve my best performance. On Tuesday, the short distance (4,3km; 120 climbing meters) was scheduled. I felt...
