| a bit chaotic outing coursechecking... did the 2nd (larger) part of the course, but the snow has hardened just to perfection so one can run all out through the forest.. it is literally 10 times faster in most places... now i am all out of cp's on that side and need to up the distance on the other part... also my snowshoe fell apart about 3/4 done and i lost a part, had to run back... and got blisters from the wrong socks... was a bit frustrated at the end... but the positive part was that the course on that section is all done and the special event practically too.. just the first part |

| Note | |
| |
| Today is sort of the day I am starting serious training for Gigathlon (www.gigathlon.ch). This means a lot less running, more biking, inline, and most importantly swimming, which is not really a weak discipline of mine, I just don't ever do it... as adventure racers we are very prone to focus on our strengths (MerGeo run, DART bike) instead of our weaknesses (paddle, technical riding, nav)... so i ll drag my lame @$$ to the gym more often to swim, and I ll join the inline skating team... lets see if writing this down will help execution... |
