Event: Swiss Championships (Long)
 

Didn't enjoy today so much...too many blackberries. Was going pretty well until 12 when I drifted off compass, then really messed up 14 when it got like Czech with lots of rides everywhere. I think I need to accept that it's often faster to go heaps wider to a track instead of going straight and getting lost. Not such as good an atmosphere as yesterday with a bus to the remote start/finish.

Event: Swiss Championships (Sprint)
 

Pretty fun race. Not used to having to think so quickly though. Lots of people out there- other runners and random pedestrians. Actually it was a very fun race.

C • RouteGadget 5

Cruise around the 'burbs of Feldkirch on my way to take the bike back.

Went to a ridiculous number of countries today. Started in Feldkirch, Austria and rode to Vaduz, Liechtenstein. Looked round the town for the day, not really capital city size. Bought a passport stamp. Only been 9 murders there since 1974 (including a police commissioner) and the last one was 3 yrs ago, so basically my main threat for the day was riding on the wrong side of the road (which is a distinct possibility).

C • that sounds soooo cool clar... 1

Crossed the border again to Switzerland. Went to Werdenberg-smallest town in the country.

Switzerland to Liechtenstein. Rode up Schellenburg to some castle ruins and back down the hill across the border into Austria again. Made sure I didn't wuss out on the hill this time like in Bled and rode the whole way, albeit slowly (not that it was as steep/far).

5min warm up/ 17min warm down and 10 min recoveries between intervals. Went up Ardetzenberg from Feldkirch. First 5 ints were up, last 3 were nice and down and felt good running. Went through an open zoo on the way back to the hostel. Started raining towards the end.

1min on, 1 min off.
