Almost tired

Gerlitzen, Carinthia, Austria
They say the third day is the hardest, because of the muscle fever. Luckily I did not get much of it, so I managed to enjoy today's rides as well.

I think I have tried out all of the slopes already, all 20-something of them . On the southern side of the mountain there were a two extremely fine downhill courses. (#25 as I recall) I like them a lot, I rode like 3 times there today. The only problem is you have to change lifts twice to get back at the top. And one of them is just sooo windy.. :)

I skied a lot with Ági, my girlfriend today and, apparently she was my photo model as well, as I have taken a bunch of  photos of her. But she looks good on all of them :) I even caught a snowy stop on lens.

There is only one black slope (#3) in this resort, today we rode it a couple o times. It was so great! Isn't that wold at all, only that is just a bit steep at the end. Otherwise we mostly rode on the two longest courses Klosterle 1+2 (#8 and #9), 7,5 km in total. If you go down without stopping, you have strong legs for sure :)

There was another interesting course as well (#5 and #23 I think) because it had a speedometer at the end. My top speed was about 70 km/h. Thank god I did not crash at that kind of speed!

We saw a slalom competition today. There were about 8 years old and there were going better already than most of the people on the courses :) We might have seen the next Hermann Maier out there!
