After a zero-point start in World Cup season 2009 on Tuesday, I was eager to make some points in the Sprint and also qualify for the final. I had a good feeling during my qualification heat. I was convinced that I would need a mistakeless run to take the final. To the second control I took the...

Well, the first Worlc Cup Event 2009 is just over and I still have zero points ;) But I want to talk about the relay on Sunday first. As usually in the younger past, I was running the first leg, with Markus and Bindi on the second and third leg. Everything went fine to the first control, but to the...

Last weekend, the Austrian national team had selection races 3 & 4 in Hungary, Miskolc, in the famous Bük mountains :) Well, I managed to qualify, but I'm not proud of my performance in selection race 4. First, we had a sprint-competition somewhere in Miskolc, mixture of forest and settlement...

Last saturday, I had the possibility to organise the "burgenländische and steirische Sprint-Championships" in my home-commune Pinggau. I was one of the map makers and we tried to apply ISSOM 2007. Furthermore, I was responsible for the courses. Most competitors were satisfied with both, map and...

On the second of May I started at the Middle distance of the AAC Cup. The organisers chose a terrain, which was worth visiting. A lot of small and large stones, made it nearly impossible to finsih without mistakes. At least I spent some minutes more than necessary in the forest, although most...

On Saturday, most of our sportsmen from the "Heeresleistungssportzentrum Seebenstein" took part at the legendary "Birnbauer Gedenklauf".
