Beni in the  Saarland

After I compete in two races last weekend, in Frankfurt and Elmshorn, it was time again form e this weekend to participate in two races again. Sadly Robby K. Didn´t attend me, but he told his dad to keep an eye on m and of course I knew Ubi was there as well.
While in Hamburg we got the downfall of the world, we got wonderful weather here in the Saarland, but at least the ground was muddy, well...best crossing weather. The course in Schmelz, i one of my favorite, high higher and more, with wondeful trails, fast downhill sections and soon after the start...up a hill...



While Susanne Juranek was right behind me, we tried together to get near the first riders, but the junior race upsets my plans. I had to get once of my bike, and lost the 5th place and at the end, I finished on the 7th place.



One day later, I started in Homburg, the course: streets, meadows, stairs, short ascents in the forest and some sand, a real cross-course. For a long time I was able to defend the 5th place until some hit me and I kissed the ground in the sandbox and also my shoe got broken.
Ein Tag drauf stand dann Homburg auf dem Programm. Strasse, Wiese, TReppchen, kurze Anstiege im Wald und Sand, ein ehrlicher Crosskurs.


First I tried to ride with only one leg, but than I had to fix my pedal and shoe and got passed by 4 girls but at least I got up to them really fast and was able to pass the girl who hit me during the sandbox section, but finally it was only enough for the 8th place.



Bummer, but a lovely anecdote. Next year I want to participate again here and maybe Robby K. will join me. By the way, Danno won both races and Ubi finished on the 6th place in Homburg. It´s really nice to meet Pirates all over the world...
What´s next on my schedule??? Some exercise and at the 26th, Ill start at the Cup of Germany in Harburg. Until than...Merry Christmas to all of you...

Your Beni
