Training Log Archive: C-Bass

Killer leg workout. Had to call it quits early. Didn't have the strength to keep going after yesterday's ride. Mike i hope you are going to keep me company when you visit us? Bart has wimped out after 1 workout. :)

Transfer day from Corte to Bastia. Once again Bart planned a route with barely any traffic. Bart caught us in the van about 40 km in and travelled with us for a while. Good thing because Stuart, Eiri, and myself AND Bart missed the turn and went 5 km downhill. We ended up back tracking. Bart threw Eiri's bike in the van and drove her back up. I started riding and then got a lift 2 km up the climb back to our mistake point. We then did the final climb of the day which probably averaged 12%. Our mistake cost us about 8 extra km. Tomorrow we say goodbye to Bart's parents and Stuart and Eiri. Been nice riding with them.

Great hike to the Restonica Gorge with both families and Stuart and Eiri. Way down seemed to go on forever. I think i was hungry. :)

Change of plans as the climb we planned was in the clouds. Did a nice scenic loop around Corte.

Getting crafty trying to figure out ways to make the work out possible. WOD 7 mins of burpees. Bart was certainly NOT joining me today. :)

Family hike into the clouds unfortunately. Was very scenic initially.

Transfer day from Porto to Corte. Took the shorter climb by a few km by mistake. Eiri and I left 25 mins before the guys. Long smooth climb out of corte over 34 km and 1400 m. Hit fresh snow maybe 5 km from the top after a lot of rain yesterday. Pretty chilly decent for the first 15 km and then entered into a spectacular gorge and warmer weather. The final climb Bart and I did intervals. Got to get the body ready for a 3000 m climb in 1 month's time. Did a mix of 200 m sprints, then 300 m, then 100 m.

Patio Crossfit again. This time by myself. Bart not keen on joining in. Pistol squats very hard. Used 2 paddle boards stacked plus a pillow as a marker to squat. My left leg is very weak.

Really scenic hike with both sets of parents and Eiri. Got rained on a bit but not bad given the horrible forecast. Bit slow pace.
