Tarifa again

piątek, kwiecień 18th, 2008

 So I’m back in Tarifa and it’s great. Since I got here I was sailing mostly on my 4.2 and 4.7. The forecast is good for the weekend and then later a bit less wind so maybe I can do some light wind training before Podersdorf.

Anyway I managed to finish my Cape Town movie. Yeah, I know it’s already mid of April but still its better late than never. But there is one problem… none of the internet connections in Tarifa can upload such a big file so I will do it as soon as I will find appropriate internet connection. Sorry for the delay. I hope it will be worth waiting. So stay tuned as in next couple of days it will be on line.

Cheers.  

Kosmo is back on track!

It been a while since my last post. I’m in Krakow now preparing for the next training session in Tarifa. I’ll be there for 10 days and hopefully I can train a bit before the contest in Austria.

Meanwhile I send a short press-realise about my brother Pawel competing in a rally:

After a brake Paweł Kosmowski is coming back to the PZM cup with new sponsor: MK Interactive & Active Space Solutions. Although the search for a new sponsor and equipment lasted for 4 years, Pawel hopes, he ménages to use the experience gathered during his starts in 2002 and 2003. The upcoming season is the ideal come back on rally special stages. “The Krakow Rally for sure will be unique, I have a strong sponsor, experienced co pilot Marcin Gerlach on the right seat and rally Peugeot 206 rented from Grzesiek Kostka. 100th anniversary of The Krakow Rally Club which is the organizer gives an extra rank to the event, we will fight with the best drivers” says Paweł. The Krakow Rally comes back to the calendar of Polish Rally Championship as a second event in the season 2008. The rally will be held from the 10th till the 12th of April and our competitors will start in really strong A-6 group. 100 km of special stages is not an easy task after few years brake but Pawel and Marcin promise that they won’t give up.  However they are aiming to have fun and they give weight to the fact that coming back to the beloved sport is contentment itself. Finger crossed!

Crazy day in Spain

sobota, marzec 29th, 2008

That was a day full of surprises. Yesterday we started to go on with the double elimination. There a lot of surprises but everyone where talking about Andre Paskowski losing to Egor Popretynsky. No one really knows what happened but one thing is sure that Andre is not happy about that:

The star of the double elimination surely was Belgian rider Steven van Broeckhoven who won 6 heat in a row, beating rider like: De Rycker, Souza De Pedro, Niklas Strahlen, Remko De Weerd, Egor Popretynsky, Michi Rossmeier and in the end he lost to a Lanzarote local Anxton Otaegui.

The wind unfortunately dropped down so we didn’t finish the double elimination. We still have 3 heats to go and we can start next elimination. At this moment we have 13 to 14 knots of wind from the left side a bit offshore. The judges decided to wait till the wind change direction. More news soon.

Double elimination is starting again

piątek, marzec 28th, 2008

The wind came back to Tarifa. In about 30 min we are starting the double elimination. We have 8 heats to finish the elimination. If the conditions will stay like that there is a big chance to start next single today and then I can compete again. I’m really counting on that and I’m waiting for the next heats… I will keep you up to date.
