O-News finally: Trofeo Costa Blanca and WRE
In the end of a hard week of training in the Alicante area I took part in the Trofeo Costa Blanca. The competition consisted of a middle distance race on Saturday, also valid for world ranking and a long distance on Sunday. Furthermore there was the possibility to run a sprint prologue on Friday afternoon . The weekend started quite well for me. Even if I had some problems to find the last control I had a good sprint race and finished on 6th place, 45 sek from the winner Daniel Hubmann.
Saturday was even better. This time I had problems on the second last control where I forgot to read the control description and searched on the wrong site of a small hill. Just stupid! But the rest of my race was good. The terrain was really nice and the course great fun! I managed to keep my speed high all the way without any big mistakes. So I finished second, 1 minute behind the strong winner Csaba Gösswein.
