We are in the middle of summer and the hottest time of the year is on its best behavior. At the end of July/beginning of August I spent some time in Mallorca together with friends, soaking up a lot of sun and enjoying a few days off on the Spanish island.

In the meantime I’m already back in “training and competition mode” and the Summer Grand Prix has started again. I skipped the opening competition in Wisla and used the time for training sessions. In Courchevel I competed in my first Summer Grand Prix of the year, but not in the way I was hoping to – but that’s what summer is for, to test your shape and to prepare for winter step by step. Talking about preparing: I will also skip the upcoming SGP in Zakopane and will train on my home hill in Hinzenbach in order to build up consistency and be ready for the following stations of the Summer Grand Prix.

In the upcoming days and weeks I will most certainly also enjoy some time in nature and will be outside a lot when I am not training.

Meanwhile, I wish you all a nice summer with lots of sun, I will keep you posted,

Michi.
