Heyy! After a month abroad I’m back at home and have some time for writing…:) The blog is not only for you my fellows, but also for me:D Maybe I’ll read these uppdatings a bit later, and find them nice.. when I have retired:D
Anyways our World Cup Tour started from Oberhof where we had at first time relay team starting, and for me also sprint! 
The second time in World Cup ever…
You know Oberhof, it was foggy like usually. From the training day’s -10 it turned to +5 and total rain to the relay. So we had all kind of weathers:D Above all a horrible wind in Men’s relay.. I read from the local newspaper, 100 penalty loops and 324 reserv bullets, must be some kind of record:D
Finland’s team Kaisa, Mari, Maija and me got also a lot of penalties 7 or 9 I don’t wanna remember:D Anyways it wasn’t easy to shoot, the fogg was so heavy that it was nearly impossible the find the black spots^^’ We were over a loop after the leading team before I even started so I knew it would be only 4km’s race.. finally we got the place 18th = we can do better…
In sprint the huge amount of people, cigarettes, smoke, fireworks, soft snow and the horrible Birx-steig.. and the result was something like 81th and 1+2 penalties. It felt like a heavy ring around my legs cause of the pressing athmosphere on the tracks! sorry people, thanks people that you were cheering me. eh:D But that all felt like a bit stressy at first time…
We had the best skies at this rainy evening, though. Kaisa was 5th with 3 penalties and our Mari got her first WC points this year.. 31th with 3 penalties! so great:))) So from rainy Oberhof we headed to ….Super Rainy Ruhpolding!!:DDD
ps. in photo we girls on sprint night and our physiotherapeut Juhani:) (as you know the starting times in oberhof were like nightmare, literally. in relay my starttime was about 20.30p, so 21.30 finnish time;))
