Merry X Mas

The year is nearly over and it is Christmas day. I wish all my sponsors and friends a great Christmas time and happy New Year.

My year résumé is very simple  – I am satisfied with my performance this year and for the people who know me better that this is not very often. Unfortunately I can’ t be very very satisfied because I expected more at the World champs but I raced nearly all 4x Pro Tour races and just didn’t win one. I won the overall Pro Tour and first time in my career I am number one in the UCI World ranking.
I didn’t find myself in hospital or on crutches. I didn’t have to X-Ray any bone. I improved my jumping skills and work now with a new technic coach. I got some new sponsors for the next season. I will ride for NORCO Bikes and NOVATEC wheels.
My private life is great, my family and I are healthy and we got a super cute dog. A Labrador Retriever, called Merlin. I am very thankful for this year and race season.

My plans for next year are racing the 4X Pro Tour again, few DH races and focus more on my women coaching camps.

Big Thanks to all my sponsors, who believe in me and help me. And also big thanks to my boyfriend and the photographers for the pictures.

Sports Ball -Vienna

I have finished my studies now and so it was my duty to go at least for one time on the ball of my sports university. I was very excited to go there see all the students, especially the men 🙂 in their nice and elegant bests suits compare to the fact that I know them all just in jogging pants and T-shirts and sneakers. And I haven’t been on a ball since ages, maybe about 5 years ago I don’t know. I felt like a teenager, not that I am so old, but I went through the same process….it was very funny to giggling around with your best friend before and help each other with difficult hairstyles, makeup and the right ball gown choice. Girls stuff!! Great… After we were styled and dressed up like Cinderella we were ready to meet our prince charmings. Okay her was already waiting since hours at the entrance because we were running so late…

The ball took place at Vienna’s city hall so it was a very nice and adequate location. The bands were very good and it gave me the heebie-jeebies, because the one singer, she sang just brilliant. So we didn’t miss the chance to dance the classic dances, like fox trot, boggie and of course walzer. Hmm but honestly it was more freestyle than correct steps. But nobody cared so did I. The disco fever sparked about 12 o’clock and did end until I danced without shoes….

LENE

my season starts soon

having a good time

Anninger i am back
dog walking time
I am now fully recovered and love my life. The check ups went fine and I started to train and ride again. Since this surgery I see all more relaxed and I have realized there are more important things then winning and racing.
Of course I don’t want to be without it and will still take part at few races but because I haven’t prepared myself like normal I don’t stress myself too much. Luckily I don’t have to, my sponsors are still with me and I have other projects running. You can be excited.
Snowboarding with my boyfriend
Because of the nice weather I have spent already some time on the bike on my hometown trails, working on my strength and endurance and enjoy riding. Explore new places, went Dirt jumping and riding on my home dual track. It was to be honest a bite disillusioning. I didn’t expect that I have to start nearly from zero but I getting back slowly.
Proksch Hütte – first time there. super nice place and trails
Enyoing riding
Exploring a cave
This year I want to check out the Enduro discipline. I have no clue about it how the format works and how it will be. I just give it a go. My friends say its lot of fun and its something for me. The first race will be Trelago in Italy or Riva del Garda, depends if my bike is ready.
This year I changed my frame sponsor. I am very pleased for the years with Moro and I would have stayed but I wanted to try Enduro and Moro is specialized on DH/ 4X and Dirt and has no Enduro frame.
My new frame partner is Alutech Cycles from Germany. I am very happy and excited to try my new special painted neon pink/black frames and be in their Trailforceteam. I choosed the TEIBUN, SENNES and D422.
I also have TSG (protection) and Carbocage (chain guide) new as my sponsors.
I will still racing 4x and DH and will take part at two 4x Pro Tour races, Crankworx, IXS Cup Spicak, Bike and Beats Festival, Trailtrophy Latsch, DreiLänderEck Enduro, Riva del Garda Enduro and hopefully at the 4x World champs in Leogang.
Apart from racing I am again busy with my coaching company and the “Wienerwald Trails” association. (More news about WWT in my next blog.)
So if you need some training and coaching I show you how to improve your riding skills. I also cooperate with my bike shop Ciclopia. The deal is, if you buy a MTB bike over 2000€ you get a 3h-coaching class with me for free, so maybe you need both a new bike and coaching. So these are my news so far.  More when my bikes are finally built up.
