team title twelfth day (Saturday)
Today was announced a great Streckentag. We went early to the Trattberg to be able to use these to. At 12:30 the race started a total of 141 km. A long day lay before me. It went quite well ahead, but you had to choose the thermals all right, because some beards (especially with the roof stone) but rather wind and Thermikzerrissen were. The good high, although decreasing, but were almost impossible to tighten. But there were also beautiful beards that made me but to just under 3,000 meters. By the first turn point's ever went there. Was made but I was looking back upon the path to Abtenau. The trip to Wagrain was unfortunately more difficult than I thought. About Radstadt I was again quite low and could even still be saved. However, the height not to arrive in Wagrain at peak height and so I just soarte along the slope high.
The traverse to Bischling was not so easy and I decided in between again make proper height. The Tennengebirge I flew a bit low, and only hoped that I did not have to land on the plateau. But I made it and arrived on the Abtenauerseite. However, another turning point was set, with whom I had not really expected. The Mount Tabor was still 10 km from Tennengebirge and Abtenau away. I was low and had me up to the slopes of Mount Tabor where I had to fight hochsoaren 100 m above the ground. I was lucky and managed so after about 10 minutes soar the turn. arrived on the degree we went with 5 m / s turned up and I still 5 Security curves at full throttle into the Aim to fly. I was able to obtain my colleague (Marina Olexina) or 7 seconds and flew her to the finish.
Task It was made a long and tiring flight took over 5 hours and 47 minutes I give a 5th place in the European Championship. The news on second place by my team mate Alex Schalber, who secured us with Tami and the second place in the team standings. A more than satisfactory result for Austria at the European Championship!

eleventh day (Friday)
Today it should be flyable in the afternoon. We therefore take first at 12:00 on the clock starting place (Bischling). At 16:00 clock a race over 66 km was started. I was motivated. Unfortunately, however, motivated and flew away a bit too deep. The decision was punished and I had to fight again high. But unfortunately the thermal weak and I could just fly above grade level. I hoped to be able to save me from Radstadt, but was announced strafsoaren. This time though, I had bad luck. I was too low and had to land in Radstadt go. Bitter, however, was that a pilot who is entered in me came up and subsequent pilots turned away * grrr *. I was pretty pissed off because that means any chance to make another first place in the Championship for me is gone.
tenth day (Thursday)
Today it's raining is not, but for a base to almost to the ground. Alternative program is announced. Today I finally wanted to do sports again, and went with Martin running and hiking. When we go walking to meet a local climber, who invited me in the afternoon on a climb, which I gladly accepting. So I end a sporting day with a delicious meal at Tom. * Yummy *
sixth to ninth day (Sunday to Wednesday)
Already in the morning it was raining, after which the operators already in Team Leader Briefing cancellte the day. I went because of the weather forecast for a few days after Carinthia.
MI: I am returned to Abtenau. In the next few days, the weather will calm down a bit. Today - Pilot dinner.
fifth day (Saturday)
We are surprised when the host decides on the clock at 11 Trattberg to drive. As we expected, we arrived in the fog, waiting up to 16 clock. The base rose and a short task in the lowlands has been announced. Outside, everything was free, but unfortunately the clouds hung on the mountain (deep base) and due to over-development, the Task gecancelled. A good decision as it is only an hour later as if from Poured buckets. We were compensated with a barbecue at the expense of the organizer. * Yummy *
fourth day (Friday)
time has come. The weather forecast looks good and we go early to the Trattberg. Everything goes pretty quickly, as was expected with over-development in the afternoon. By 12 clock was started and at 12:30 began the race. The route took us to the lake Hallstatt, back again until after Pernegg, even a short trip to Mount Tabor and the finish (Abtenau). Today was flown quickly because we had good thermals and it was flying but still quiet. Almost everyone was standing the entire distance over 53 km in the gas. Correspondingly fast were the first at the finish. Thus, the Frenchman Luc Armant flew only 1h 13min. I was also strong in the gas, but had a mini construction site. After 1 hour 30 minutes and I was a lady in the 5th goal. The Austrian team also flew well again today and all landed in the Spitzenpulk goal. A good result!

third day (Thursday)
today No task. A cold front moves through and beschehrt us a lot of rain and dense clouds. Alternative program is a must!
second Day (Wednesday)
A task of 45 km has been announced. Only later was able to start because traversed again and again rain. At 15:00 it was time clock and a speedrun for Grödming started. At 15:35 went to the window and I started a journey only at low base. I talked to the Council of Alex, who counseled, near the highway (Eben) turn up. I soon found his beard and was able to turn up to 2500m. As some pilots of the roof stone flew quite low and near Radstadt most of them gained height, I opted for the valley and was able to do there level again. With the wind went well there, but unfortunately I had With pitch and 5 m / s was at Filzmoos's towards the floor. The wind had turned and we were flying with no more, but against the wind. In Grödming it was already dark and I knew that the rain drove out the air in our direction. I had no chance because I was too deep. Also, my attempt was aufzusouren on the opposite hill had nothing and therefore I end up between a few power lines go. Soon it began to rain with me. After the retrieval had aufgeklaubt me I soon heard that the run was stopped. As possible in the FAI is no stopping a speedruns means 0 points and no rating. So we wait for the next few days to our first task to fly!
first day (Tuesday)
The weather forecast did not look good. Nevertheless, at 9 Clock the umbrellas were loaded and off we went to the Bischling. The team are Austria ran again for more time and still enjoyed the breakfast. We did not come too late. After a few chattering with the pilots it was already "briefing in 5 minutes." Because of the massive wind, the announcement was clear: "The task is canceled." For me an opportunity to make an extensive bike tour. So it pays out but yes, that I brought my bike;)
We still hope for better weather. Tomorrow could pose a short task.
Training Task (Monday)
The European Championship has started in Abtenau. Once on Sunday, more or less all have come (and Tami Martin came a little later), we went to the MO off with a training task on Bischling. Because of the stronger west wind was a precaution advertised in a zig-zag between the house and Bischling Hochgründeck. Some pilots flew the task, while others use the time to their screens - they had just received the first - to fly and test set. I opted for the task, and I am less concerned with the time went by as the flight area to take a closer look. My flight in XContest
