Training Log Archive: Torino

went to the Bieler O race in Twann. My course went from the start straight up the 180 m climb looking for 4 controls then along the pretty part back down for the next 7 controls. I had no problems going up being 2nd all the time. But on the way down, I seem to be losing lots of time to the others in my age class. I was disappointed when I looked at the splits and realised the reality of it all. Oh well. (I came in 3rd in the end)

C • up? down? 1

Biked around Twannberg to Lamboing etc. I felt exhausted and did not have much energy left after the O-meet.

Did the Bremer Loop and ran the best time since the meniscus surgery! Yipee, it was a good day, and my back and left knee/leg hurt only little.

Did the Lombach - Vita Parcours loop with my NW group. Freaking cold again and drizzling rain.

Did the Elfenau Zigzag loop anyway. Was slower than normal even though I tried.

I could barely fall asleep as my left knee and low back hurt excessively after the long NWing last night. Back pain all day long and very painful after the run. I tried stretching, gentle yoga and plain just laying on my back and stretching but it did not ease up much. Bummer.

With the bad weather only 3 people showed up. We went towards Wilderswil after the ruins of Unspunnen, then decided to try something new, went up towards the Abendberg and coming back down over the heimwehflueh. Long walk today. I already started hurting while we were coming down. Stupid Nordic Walking!
