Its been a long time since I wrote my last blog, in fact so long that i forgot my password for the site. Sorry for that!  So the past month has been pretty exciting for me…

SARAJEVO

 It began with a Balcan trip to Bosnia in the capital city Sarajevo where  the Europe cup competiton was held. As we arrived in Sarajevo I was suprised to see that most of the city had been rebuilt, with only a few remaining visible ruins from the war. We were staying in a Hostel in the city centre. All 8 of us slept in one big room with 6 3floor beds in it. Bosnian style. As you imagine two of us girls didn't get much sleep with all the snoring around us. New lesson learned: don't go anywhere without a pair of ear plugs and headphones.

 For the next four days we were pretty much eating and drinking. The food was really good, especially the famous meat čevapčiči and burek but not really healthy though. Not a good place for a vegeterian. It was a kind of test how much junk my body can take and it took it suprisingly well! The competiton was also great. I took 1st place and the rest of the team also did good. It was time to celebrate our success! The party was fun. During the day I didn't understand a word the Bosnians were saying but  somehow I managed to speak bosnian the whole night.

MUNICH

The fifth day we went back home. As I got home after 9 hours of driving my friends were already waiting for me and Kaja. So actually I was at home  just to say Hi! and Bye!, repacked my stuff, took the car and left straight to Munich for the ISPO party. As usual we didn't make any plans so we didn't have a place to sleep yet, but luckily our friends offered us a hotel floor and we were more than happy. In the morning we visited ISPO. I was really tired but super excited beacuse it was my first time there. We were pretty much hanging in the Elan booth, chatting with friends and searching for sponsors. In the evening we went back home. I was driving and my lack of rest and my stupidity resulted when I made a wrong turn on the highway and we ended up in Innsbruck.  So that meant almost 300 extra km. So stoked! I started to feel sick so Maja took my place and drove us home.

MAYRHOFEN

For the next few days I was sick so I stayed home but I wasn't getting any better so what's the point of staying home anyway. I decided to go in Mayerhofen for the Sista session with my sister Marina and my friend Maja. As I was there I was thinking that wasn't the best idea. Of course I was feeling worse everyday but I decided to compete anyway. Luckily the weather was good so we didn't freeze. Most of the day I was watching the girls ride qualifications and I was really imppresed with their riding. I was waiting for my qualification heat and then in the end found out that I'm already in the final because of my video contest that I won. Great! Finally it was my turn. Somehow I ended up first, didn't expect it at all. Its a good thing we waited for the prize giving.  After the competition we went straight home. Despite of me being sick it was fun and we were happy to be there.

Take care,
