Dusseldorf Germany

Comment20 Comments | |

Tons of fans, pouring rain, and awesome wipe-outs has become the standard for the annual Dusseldorf World Cup Sprint here in Germany. Every year the world cup makes it's way to the banks of the Rhine for one of the most exciting events of the year. 

This past weekend lived up to the expectations with two awesome races, a skate sprint and a sprint relay. Saturday's individual sprint was a two lap race around the mostly flat man made course. Flat sprints might sound easy, but they are often times some of the hardest because there is no rest. The qualification went well. I was able to push the pace placing third and in a good position to fight it out in the heats. This course is always really narrow so racing the sprint heats is a lot of fun because there is so much action and always a lot of crashes. I was able to advance through the quarterfinals but came down to a battle to the line for the Finals just like last weekend. I pushed hard to the finish line but just missed out on a spot in the A final and finished the day 7th. 
Sunday's sprint relay was also an intense race with a lot of spills on the narrow course. Torin and I were able to qualify for the final and finished the day 6th while Russia, Norway, and Sweden rounded out the podium. It's such a fun race here. there are always tons of wild fans that line the course despite the crappy weather. Must be all the good German beer.
Well we're off to Davos Switzerland today to prepare for the next stop of the world cup. Below is a picture on Torin, Kikkan, and I at the local Dusseldorf soccer match. it was a pretty awesome thing to see some real European soccer action.
