Hey :-)
Time flied and it's more than
2 month ago that I wrote something. So let me summarize what happened in the
last weeks. I participated in three Austria Cups and in between I trained
solely in different gyms because I simply didn't have the time to climb
outdoors. The first Austria Cup was a lead competition in Mitterdorf. The
comp went quite well and I got 7th (results). Two days later the next Austria Cup took place in
Neunkirchen. This time it was all about bouldering. I wasn't too pleased with
my climbing that day. In the end I finished on the 15th place (results). After this event I had roughly three weeks to
prepare myself for the Austrian lead championship which took place in Dornbirn.
This comp was my main goal for the season so I was a bit nervous, maybe that's
what caused my failure. I felt strong and well prepared but unfortunately I
messed up the first qualifying route. I climbed nervously and misread a
sequence in the upper third of the route. The result was bad, I was 22nd
in this round. I knew that I would be
almost impossible to get into finals with this performance in the first round,
so I climbed the second route with indifference. The result was ok, I came 12th in
the ranking of that one. Altogether I finished on the 18th
place (results) which was definitely below my expectations, as I my objective was to make
finals, but I guess it’s part of competitions to sometimes fail in reaching one’s
goals. Nevertheless, it took me some days to get back on track. The national lead season 2014 is over now (overall ranking) and in the next
weeks I’m going to do some rock climbing. After all the training in the gym I’m
really psyched to touch real rock again :-)
¡Venga!
