Training Log Archive: Torino

Went to the Hondricher OL which was a town sprint in Spiez. Quite easy and enjoyed running it. We started high over the vinyards and descended to the most beautiful bay in Switzerland. Of course, it was mostly back up towards the finish.
Came in 2nd, "only" 30 sec behind 1st. :-).

C • Kewl! Congrats on a great ... 2

I am now officially an orienteering grandma ;-)!! It was my first time out with Matti while Sandra and Marc were coaching their junior team during the team trials for JWOC and the Swiss team. All the regional junior teams were present and it was the first of 4 try-outs in the same woods and with the same maps as WOC Long distance and relay last year.
Babysat for over 3 hours and he slept comfortably for 2 hours! The weather in Chalet-à-Gobet was dismal: rain, sun, sleet, snow. Matti was an angel and no problem what-so-ever.

Afterwards, drove to Yverdon-les-Bains where I met Urs and we went to the thermal baths, then Hamam and sauna, the full program. Fun and felt very good on tight muscles and fascia.

Late run after spending 4 hours in my cellar to clean it out, sorth through stuff, throw away, vacuum, etc. (a lot of my US-things have been in storage now for over 11 years, it is time to have these things resurface in my life, if there is room).
Went to the Dählhölzli and did 2 of the trail loops that I had started doing last week to get little faster on trails and in the woods.

Was in Interlaken and watered all the plants, repotted some, did some new decoration arrangement, etc. I work once a week on an hourly base specifically to water and care for the plants. These 6 hours are always so hectic, I really have to hurry through it all. However, often, friends are also visiting and we have a chat and a coffee which is nice, too.

The first "better" run in a while. I am glad, I was so depressed after Monday's jog.

We still have pretty miserable weather. It rains on and off, the Aare has been close to flooding stage for the last 3 weeks and now it is even going to so cold that it might snow by Friday!!
So far, we had a minus record for amount of sunshine this year! But we had lots of wonderful snow but not many days to actually make a tour with sunshine and stable forcasts. Oh well, I am still turning our apartment upside down and throwing out a lot of unnecessary things, selling already 3 bikes (!) to make space. It feels so good to get rid of things.
But I also yearn for sunshine and warmth :'/)

Went to the Bremer with Urs and we did a 3km run on the woodchip track. My time was ok, not great. However, I noticed that my Garmin GPS did not have 3 km as 5 loops should have been. I went for 3.2 km on the track until my watch beeped! Is my Garmin wrong? Or the measured track?
