Training Log Archive: Dr. Smith

running to CD Gym and back... didn't take a watch with me so I had to guess the total time... anyway, it was a nice run despite the hot summer evening...I just wanted to do a fun run so I didn't push too hard

had a really really busy week so I couldn't play any sports until today... now that the stress is over, I am hoping I will be able to train on a regular basis again... today I did a nice gaisberg-ride... it was good, despite the fact that it was quite hot and that hurt my speed
note to self: don't ever do the gaisberg on a wednesday again... it's the inn's closing day and so there's nobody around to sell you a cold, refreshing beer once you've made it to the top

mountain biking in the extreme heat is not fun... tried to push hard in order to beat my gaisberg pb but started out too fast... had to pay the price for that halfway up the hill when I got really dizzy and sick so that i decided to quit early... gaisberg - you may have won this battle but I'm gonna win the war

last round of tournament play for this year... all in all we cannot be happy with how the season unfolded, but we managed to stay clear of the hot seats at the bottom of the table... so let's just forget this season and look forward to the next one

riding my bike into town to have it serviced... got it back in the evening and rode it back again... now my bike is ready to take on some mountains - and so am I!

in spite of my tired legs I couldn't let this beautiful day go by without any training... so I got on my bike and rolled up to zistelalm via elsbethen in a really relaxed and slow way... my goal was to still be able to push on that last stage from zistelalm to the top... so I didn't give a damn about my overall climb time, which was pretty slow (1:16:08)... on the bright side, I really was able to pick up the pace on those last 2 kilometres, where I also overtook two other riders... all in all, it was just a nice and easy training session

C • wow, you get a lot of pract... 2

opted for some variation today and did a nice run in not-so-nice weather (moderate rain)... seems as if my mountain biking helped my running legs as I have not felt that good in a long time... maybe I should also switch to mountain running and forget about that bike ;-)
btw, the run was to lehener brücke and back

climbed the Gaisberg from Elsbethen for the first time... I had a good mountainbiker ahead of me for most of the climb and I was fighting hard to catch him... he was a good climber but I could reduce the gap whenever it was not so steep... had almost caught him at Zistelalm but then the high initial speed began to take its toll... I might have started out too fast and i had also underestimated the climb from Elsbethen (thought it would be shorter)... so I couldn't do much anymore on the last part from zistelalm to the top... in the end, I had to let the other guy go and just fought my way up to the summit in a really ugly way
I wouldn't have stood a chance versus klaus today, that's for sure... hope I'll have some more time for training next week... climb time was 1:09:08

gameday in Inzersdorf
I didn't play but did all the warm up exercises and played some football with erich and klaus... the team lost a gruelsome match versus hirschbach but came away with a nice win versus inzi... 2 more points next week and we should be in a good shape
