I've just come back from the Himalaya. The landscape is simply unbelievable and the scenery with this eight thousands breathtaking.

For endurance and fitness training it was perfect there. Daily up to 12 hours hiking on up to 5.500 meters sea level and flights up to 6.500 meters.

 

I hope a couple of red blood cells will survive until the Red Bull X-Alps... ;o)

After a week with some xc-flights in Austria, glider testing in Switzerland, groundhandling courses in Germany and cross country skiing tours, Mike started to a great journey.

 

Since Monday Mike is on an expedition into the Everest areal. A twelve-headed team around him and Andreas Schubert (head of the Papillon-Flightschools) wants to fly at the Lhotse (8.516 meters). Tomorrow they will reach the Lhotse south flank. The starting place will be on 5000 meters above sealevel. If the wind is not...

Running, running... http://www.redbullxalps.com/no_cache/athletes/athlete-diary/mike-kueng/date/2011/03/11/keep-on-running-running-running.html http://www.redbullxalps.com/no_cache/athletes/athlete-diary/mike-kueng/date/2011/03/11/keep-on-running-running-running.html Too much wind at Achenlake for xc-flying

The last days we had very strong thermal at my home place, but also a lot of wind. Hardcore flying in rough conditions. Not very far but very instructive.

 

Therefore endurance training again! Running, trekking, cross country skiing and indoor cycling.

 

The next weekend I will spent at Wasserkuppe in Germany, holding a groundhandling course. Perfect training!

The weather forecast for the next few days looks very good! Hope some xc flying will be possible. Stay tuned!
