WOC 2009 - now already in Sweden!
The last 10 days I have spent in Miskolc (Hungary), the venue of the WOC 2009. I was supposed to run Long and Sprint during that week but didn’t manage to reach the Finals. Nevertheless, I must say, that I am not disappointed with my races. Technically I had solid runs with no major mistake, neither in the Long nor in the Sprint. What I had to accept once more was the fact that I am still too slow to compete on the highest level. That is definitely frustrating when you are doing good races technically but nevertheless miss the final by some minutes or seconds. 
If I want to have a chance for the final next year in Norway I have to be faster, that’s for sure. The conditions for training are getting better living the next two years in Sweden. I finished my bachelor degree right before WOC and some days ago I got the confirmation that I passed all the necessary exams as well as my BA-thesis. So, now I can call myself Bachelor of Arts in International Business Studies… what a great title!? 
The semester in Jönköping has already started this week. Due to WOC I missed the introduction week at the university but I hope that I can compensate that in the next days. I reached Jönköping yesterday, stayed the last night in a hotel waiting for the keys for my student room. But now I am in, living in Raslätt a little bit outside Jönköping with 3 other guys from Spain, Pakistan and Canada. Nice mixture!
The new life in Skandinavia can finally begin…Jag glädjer mig!
