Exam time
This week, the exams will begin in the
University.
It
is a pity that it has not worked with the world cup place in Spain, but
now I will have to prepare intensely for the exams in the next two
weeks.
Here are some photos from the
Worldranking-Race in L´Argentiere.

Position 5,
6 and 7 at the selection races
 After
the first three competitions with the places 5, 6 and 7 in the A
finale, I come away empty-handed in the U23- Category.
Also with very steady and good results it´s not enough for the German
Canoe Federation to make the U23 national team.
The trainer's council is speaking from in the long term good
development possibilities for young paddlers and proves the opposite
with me!
Besides, U23 paddlers like me are also deserted for the whole
competition season!
After the first 3 competitions I was laying on the overall position 5
and can only look forward for the German Championship.
In my opinion, long-term sports developments for young paddlers must be
formed very much better! The qualification runs in Leipzig and Augsburg
was not a loss for me! I didn´t crazed myself or get nervously but
rather was looking for the selection races!
Top priority will be the the University in business informatics with 10
exams and some practical training to the end of July but the hard
training will be still the same! |

Qualification
to the European- and World Championship
The
selection run´s for the German-National-Team will start in Markkleeberg
tomorrow. The final run´s will be in Augsburg next week.
Here
are some pictures from the Snowkajak World Championship in Lienz (AUT).
I won the first and second run and retired
in the quarterfinal.

New
Galasport boat and a completely red paddle
This year Galasport developed a new slalom
kayak, the Echo which is the next development of the Toro Evo!
The new Echo is simply brilliant, with the intensified
volume in the tail, the Echo is turning almost by itself! Moreover you
have a better feeling with the new narrow seat in addition to the
perfectly adapted thigh braces! I tested the new boat together with
Alex Grimm and we are very surprised by the new Echo!
I´m also paddling with the new Galasport
paddle, the Naja Maxi DTB MCQ, which is as well an absolutely
innovation from Galasport! This paddle is not only lightly also very
tough! The change from a straight shaft to an ergo-shaft was very
simple and makes a lot of fun!
Manuela und
Andreas
Stahl gave me not a normal paddle, they brought me a completely red
paddle, which made me very happy!
The team of Kanu-Sport-Stahl is paddling with painted
paddles and also Melanie Pfeifer is certainly happy about her pink
paddle!
Thanks a lot to Kanu-Sport-Stahl! |

Semester break
In
the last 3 weeks I had to reduce the training most intensive, because
of many examinations! Now, the exam period is finally over and I´m
looking forward to train a lot! Together with the
Bavarian-Canoe-Federation we will go to Solkan (SLO) for training next
week.

Women´s
football Germany - USA
Yesterday, I were in the brand-new "Impuls
Arena" in Augsburg for watching the women´s football Germany against
the USA. It was a nice experience, because the stadium was completely
sold out! Although Germany lost the match, this was still a good
advertisement for the upcoming women´s Worldchamps in Augsburg 2011! |

German
Champion in Hohenlimburg
Yesterday I was able to win the German
Championship together with Fabian Dörfler and Lukas Kalkbrenner in
Hohenlimburg!
Unfortunately the second place at the German Cup was finally the end
result this year!
Nevertheless I can be very happy about my
sixth title at the German Championships and even the fourth place in
the individual was a great success!
The German Championship was the last race
in a very successful competition season 2009!

ICF World
Ranking Race in Solkan (SLO)
After the eight place in the international
competition in Markkleeberg, we will travell to the Slovenian World
Ranking Race. At the moment there is a big high water level in
Slovenia, therefore we decided to do a short training in Lofer (AUT)
and drive on to Solkan.
Even at high water the Hit Challenge should take place.

Training
camp in South Africa
Today, I will fly together with the german
national team to a three-weeks long training camp in Bethlehem, South
Africa.
There are altogether 15 other paddlers and
also 6 coaches from the german team.
I look forward to training at higher
temperatures and especially to visit a multicultural and extremely
interesting country in Africa!

Shoulder
dislocation in the canoe slalom
 Ole
Siegismund from the University of Magdeburg conducted some measurements
from my shoulder last week.
Ole fixed my entire right arm with numerous
electrodes and also did some force measurements from my shoulder.
I also had to do a test in my boat, when he unexpectedly
tipped me on the side with full tilt to check out the max power of my
shoulder! I´m glad
that my shoulder is still all right after all this hard tests and I
hope Ole
will evaluate his measurements easily.
The aim was to see, which forces are
exposed on my shoulder in the canoe slalom and how to prevent shoulder
dislocation in sports.
Here are

New boat
Last week I got the new Toro Evolution from
Galasport for the training- and competition season 2009.
My new boat is fast and especially in upstream-gates it comes off very
well, so that it is easily to drive.
All in all it looks brilliant and makes me happy!
Thank´s a lot to Kanu-Sport-Stahl! |

Sports
instructor training
in Sonthofen
   
At the moment I do a sports instructor
training from the German Sports Army in Sonthofen.
It´s an excellent conditional training and
together with Jan
Benzien also very amusingly. Six hour sport and
about two hour theory are on the plan every day.
We do a lot of jogging, swimming, cycling, rock climbing,
mountaineering, weight training,...It´s
a nice time and I will become a sports instructor in four weeks.

 Vietnam was a great
experience
Vietnam
is a wonderful country, with marvellous landscapes, beautiful beaches,
fantastic mountainous regions,
buoyant people, incredible roads traffic and a lot
more!
But
Vietnam has also another side.
Completely
destroyed and overcrowded roads, now
and than streets are punctuated with
brown mud and red brickearth, which makes
many main roads impassable.
Many
children have no or rather just a little school education and as a
result bad future prospects. Farmers work very hard, air their
homegrown vegetables and rice on the roadside and live in serried ranks
of shabby little huts. You can see many water buffaloes lying in
the rice fields and white ducks are flying across the sky and you feel
to see snowflakes aboveground.
I saw economically weaker regions with hopeless
poorness, where people have no laughing matter!
It
was my year-loang wish to travel 4000 Km trough Vietnam! I am glad that
I could do it with my old class mate!
Here
are some photos from Vietnam
