So...the next station was the Bucholzer MTB cup! My weight 80 kg, amount of km´s 530. This is one oy my favourite races. Here I´ve been really succesful in the past. The course got a zig-zag pattern it goes constantly up and down. The course doesn´t make only fun, even the folks from RSG Nordheide cause a real good atmpssphere and for refreshments. I gotta say, that your body doesn´t follow your head everytime.

I had quite a good start…and until the last quarter of the race I was first! But than I burned fast down like some matches does…well…it made fun after all.

Last race before the TAC… Weight 79kg, Amount of km´s: 730. For the first time I felt the power in my legs…

The course was totally different. So, the first downhill passage makes me feel really excited and so I squared up all the time…

After 2 hours I was empty and something like a revolution happened in my stomach, for stopping this I had to slow down and finish the small part of the course.

Now, one day before the TAC, my weight is at 76kg, I got about 1200km´s in my legs. My head and my body feels like they´re in a good shape. And I´m really confident.

Cos, after all, I´ve finished the TAC 4 times in the past, and it couldn´t get more worse than in 2006, where I did the TAC without any kind of exercise…or? What do you think???

So, keep yout thumbs crossed, that it won´t rain…and I´m looking forward!

Willy
