In Lienz on the first Saturday of July took place the last of three Austrian cups. Me, Peter, our puppy Puko and our good friends, Vlado and Jano, left Bratislava very late. For us it is about 520km, so we came there at 1 am on Saturday. In the morning we went to train a little bit before the competition starts. Lienz is really nice small town, with good sports conditions. In winter you have many ski centers around. Also in the spring, summer or fall it is heaven for sports fans. We, kayakers, have a many options for kayaking. You…

When I was booking flight tickets to Spain I hoped for good water level. We wanted to train In Ourense for European Championships which will be held there in end of July. We spent there 9 days. Because of cheaper tickets we flew to Portugal to Lisbon, which is 520km from Ourense. In that time were in Lisbon oil strike so our plain needed stop in Barcelona to tank. Because of it we were one hour late and we had to pay 30euro more for rental car. So our trip started quite unlucky. Then when I saw our rented car, I…

After the Bitches we went for one day to Augsburg to train on the local spot calls ‘’Waschmashine’’. This spot is amazing hard hole to train. From the edge it is looking like a nice hole , but if you are inside it’s a really strong. I think all hole tricks are possible but it is not easy. The worldcup will be here soon , than we was practicing there little bit. After Augsburg we went to Italy for the Teva extreme race. Thursday we had some trainings rides and then at Friday was the competition on Egua river ( team…
