She chased her male opponents down to the finish-line in Griffen and handed over to SG PRO TEAM-friend Mitja Oranic, Slovenijan Nordic-Combined Pro. He charged very hard on his 22 km skiroller track, overtook several ski-rollers of other teams and was there in Bleiburg very fast, to give the start to the SG PRO TEAM mountain runner Nevin Galmarini. For the Swiss rider Nevin it was a heroic task to run up the 13km and 1.200m to the Petzen-mountain, but he gave everything and showed high-class! (And as a Swiss he is living and training in the Mountains of Engadin and he is used to climb high and steep mountains!)
Nevin passed on to SG PRO TEAM friend Albert Lukasser, Austrian Paragliding Champion from beautiful Osttirol, who showed his class flying down from Petzen mountain to the Pirkdorf-lake in his well-known radical style. There he was awaited by German SG PRO TEAM rider Isabella Laböck, she continued the race on her inline-skates for 24km giving her male opponents of other teams a hard time! She showed no fear on the 1km downhill where she reached 80km/hour and gave everything on the last pitches before reaching the Lake of Klopein! There she passed on to the next German SG PRO TEAM girl Anke Karstens.
Anke's task was to swim 1500m across the Lake of Klopein where she showed her excellent swimming technique and endurance and that a snowboard-girl is not only fast on frozen water! After Anke, the Austrian SG PRO TEAM SBX-rider Hans-Jörg Unterrainer started to his 19km running course leading him to some well-known places. People who recognized Hans-Jörg cheered him which motivated him a lot and he gave everything on his last kilometres to river Drau where Austrian PGS Snowboard World Champion Marion Kreiner waited for him in her canoe.
Marion who usually likes to spend her summers on a wake- or surfboard showed everyone that she can be fast with a canoe and she could even overtake other competitors. Marion gave everything down the 3,5km canoe-track and finished it in 24 minutes before she handed over to SG PRO TEAM finisher Christoph Maltschnig whose task was to row 5 km to Völkermarkt and to run into the finish. But Christoph had bad luck (probably too much power): his rowing-boat broke down, and for bringing the team to the finishing line he had to jump out of his boat after only 1,5 km and to run all the way down to Völkermarkt centre where the SG PRO TEAM waited for him to accompany him into the finish.
It was a great day, a great experience for the team and every single rider gave everything for the team! Thanks a lot to all riders who competed and also to all the supporters: SG PRO TEAM rider from Slovenija Zan Kosir, Astrid, Johanna, Heri, Stefan and Elisabeth!
