Climbing 1:00:00 [0]

We stayed in Gstaad for the rest of the weekend (and enjoyed the pool and sauna in the hotel ;-)). Today we went climbing at the"Hornflue", very nice and "grippy" rock! The wather was also very nice, only the cold wind was a bit annoying.
I did 5c (Pappilon), 5c (No Seat), 5c+(?) 6a (TomSelect), 6a (Fleur), 6a+ (Sarina, but only toprope). Each one was 20-25m - I was really tired at the end!

Note

Salomon X-Adventure Gstaad, with Irene: Light Mixed, 1st place!
To our surprise we won this race. I don't think we were the strongest team but we harmonized very well and were lucky as well. I was towing her on all the uphills and we were also lucky that the first mixed team which finished ahead of us had taken a wrong control on the canoe section (1h penalty).

Inlineskate race 17:00 [4] 5.3 km (3:12 / km) +60m 3:02 / km

Short but fast rollerblade section to start with. We started well but could not keep up with the fastest teams. Missed the train and were fighting in the wind a few meters behind it.

After a fast transistion we had a fist short bike section, mostly uphill.

Running 38:42 [4] 4.7 km (8:14 / km) +350m 6:00 / km
shoes: Salomon 07

Next was a trekking section with a lot of uphill. Once on the top we could use our downhill running skills and put some distance between us and the next teams.

Various (canoing) 27:00 [4] 2 km (13:30 / km)

Canoe section. This is where we won the race. All the teams ahead of us (including two mixed teams) went to the wrong control. We realized it early enough (when we saw Yve and Daniela heading to the right one). While one mixed team (plus the four men team ahead of us) didn't realize that they had taken the wrong control we could pass the second team and take the lead.

Running race 30:00 [4] 5.3 km (5:40 / km) +50m 5:24 / km vdot: 33.2
shoes: Salomon 07

Second trekking section. This time includes a short 'rope activity' (tyrollean) traverse. Could keep up with Daniela and Yve for a short while but had to let them go on the uphill.

Bike 1:01:00 [3] 16.3 km (3:45 / km) +300m 3:26 / km
