Liechtenstein was the 2nd stage of this year’s BWIC (https://www.bwic.de) and also the first stage of the Swiss Skate Tour (https://www.swiss-skate-tour.ch).
21km divided into 10 rounds.
I managed to get into a group with Silvano W., Pascal B., Beni F. and many more skaters, although I had to struggle to get and stay there.
Guess we had the best camera coverage of the entire race, since we had TWO cameras (although, apparently I love filming the ground), so that is something. 😉
Somehow, the position on the track doesn’t update. Also, I forgot to start my watch at the beginning, and did so again in the Team Time Trial. Woops.
Want to see it from another perspective? No problem, go for Silvano’s video:
Also, it’s smoother. 😀
Men:
1. Iten, Nicolas
2. Widmer, Severin
3. Acosta, Camilo
Women:
1. Kurth, Manisha
2. Härdi, Ramona
3. Spurgeon, Nadia
I finished 22nd, almost 6 minutes after Nicolas Iten. Very happy about that!
08:51 After chasing for two very long rounds, I managed to get into the group I was aiming for.

33:26 Just when I was about to recover, Asha accelerates and the pack has to follow
36:03 Beni lures me into attacking. I realised that I couldn’t shake him off, but I didn’t know who else was with us, so I gave everything I had.
38:08 Asha and Beni overtake me and almost drop me on the last meters.
38:30 I’m officially dead.
