Training Log Archive: Torino

The fog lifted around 2 pm and also lifted my spirits to get out. But it wasn't till 3 pm that I went to get my bike and finally out the door.
Went up to the château de Rochefort and felt quite good and strong, the first time again in about 2 months. (The surgery on my ear beginning of October and subsequent forced no exercise, definitely was bad on my fitness.)
Took the longish way back home, wanted to get some flatter parts in because the sun had set and my feet got cold. So little pedalling in-between felt good.
Happy with it.

Did the Gorge de l'Areuse loop, first time in a while. The sun was out finally! We've had fog for days and were stuck in grey while not far away, over 800 m the sun was shining and temperatures were high.
Had somewhat problems with the high single trail up along the cliffs of the gorge as it was full of leaves and couldn't make out rocks or steps. I definitely didn't want to stumble at some places. So, I was a little slower than usual (-2 min). Went along the Areuse which is beautiful as always with very few people not. But, it was also coolish and shady in spots. I was looking forward climbing out of the gorge again and felt kind of easy getting back to the train station in Chambrelien and to the car. A beautiful loop!
(Usual time was between 1:26-1:28 hrs for this)

Running home in the dark from Sandra's place again finishing on the lake before heading up home. (142 stairs this time: there are 141+/- stairs up along a school close to home and I never seem to get the same number ;-)).

Did a lunch run in the fog from home down to the lake and along the trail and back up home again on paved roads.
