Groß-Gerau 2008 - Part 3

Travel home
Well it felt much much longer than the other way. The kids were more anxious and had too much energy sometimes. We stopped in Vienna for some looking-around & quick shopping. Arriving home, Moira jumped in my arms and sobbed for 5 minutes - Peter did the same with Aniko but a little bit shorter :)

Aftermath
Well I wonder what each of the kids will earn from the races.
For Peter it is simple - he is flying, after a nice winter season finish he carried on and earned silver medal on his first race in the spring. A really nice start, I hope he can make it go on this way.
The others I think could gain a lot in experience. We miss race experience, there is so little field action in Hungarian races it is very hard to learn tactics or best practises that way.

Columbia
It was 'devastating' to see them racing. They were skating such an easy style, one could think they were not having their heartbeat rising at all. And they raced very clever, too. They showed a nice teamwork, eg in the women 10km elimination they managed to grasp all top 5 places with 3 or 4 laps remaining. They received a standing ovation and earned it well.

Meteo
Meterology... bah. Both weather.com and met.hu forecasted sunny/cloudy weather, 30% possibility of rain and low winds. Well - Saturday we had no clouds at all so we turned red, and Sunday was only a little bit easier. Oh yes, it was raining. On Friday, in Austria...
