The first part of the season is over and so is the Eurotour. I had the opportunity to paricipate in the first two stops of the Eurotour in Zandvoort and Namur and the second but last in Scharbeutz. It was an amazing experience to see how the level of competition is still rising from year to year.

In Zandvoort the conditions were a lot flatter than usual. I managed to finish the Eurotour beachrace in 19th and the distance race in 16th. Both with a lot less time lost to the lead than the last years on the Eurotour. Namur on the other hand was not my race this year. With bad luck at a buoy I lost the main draft in the first lap and never managed to catch back up, in the end I was still able to finish just out of the top 20.

The Race in Scharbeutz was one of the most interesting and fun races to paddle. Small downwind conditions made it a really fun up/downwind race. Even though I lack the experience in these conditions I managed to hold on to a decent place and finish in 36th place.

Now after my Eurotour races for this year in the book I will focus on the preparation for the 11 City Tour in September.
