The motivation was high, the legs were fit and the head was ready. I was really looking forward to the Swiss Championships in Gr\u00e4nichen. I had a clear and possible goal in my mind. But it might shouldn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n
The temperatures were high at the race day as well in the gravel pit of Gr\u00e4nichen during the day before. I like the summer. But due to the long cold spring period I absolutely wasn\u2019t used to it. Anyway, I was looking forward to the race and felt fit and ready when standing at the starting line. I knew exactly which ranking could be possible. Even if I knew that, I am happy that I didn\u2019t put too much pressure on. So, I was ready in my mind as well. During the first two laps I felt quite good. But the longer I was riding, the worse I felt. I felt hotter and hotter. My head got stormy and I made a lot of mistakes in the downhills. Several times I really had good luck that I didn\u2019t crash. My concentration as well as my performance got worse and worse. In the 2nd<\/sup> last lap my father and sister took me out of the race. The disappointment was high. From the goal of a podium ranking to the reality of a DNF (Did Not Finish). But what to do if your body says no? Better ending a race in this situation, than risking a crash. In about two weeks the next Proffix Swiss Bike Cup will already take place in Leukerbad. Next race, next chance!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The motivation was high, the legs were fit and the head was ready.
