Training Log Archive: Torino

The first Bike-O (training) event. It was fun at the beginning but through the second half I started to make mistakes in a neighborhood (think there were more new subdivisions that I couldn't go through) and then in the woods behind I got turned around with the traces of trails that I either couldn't see or the ones I took were a dead-end. It was very confusing and demotivating. Oh well.

After spending a sunny day in Berne yesterday to go on a ride with Urs's mom. It was really wonderful, very green and such a clear view of the Alps.
It was followed by an appetizer at his sister's with nephew and family. Home only by 8 pm, so no more training.
Today, I really wanted to go outside and do a run. Pushed myself especially on the pavement and di some running style strides which helped that I could pick up a little something of a little faster speed than always. Felt so heavy and couldn't lift my legs, but the time was not bad in the end.

Ride up to Sandra's place to pick-up Matti. Together we rode down the hill through the vineyards to the lake in Auvernier. We found a good place to grill and were waiting for Urs to come with Lena and the sausages and more. Matti and Lena tried the lake but it was too cold!
Later, riding home to Colombier and all going back up the hill to Sandra's place little later.

Did the loop up high again which I seem to be able to do a little faster each time. I'm no more scared of the loop and my strength and the climb, but still respectful. Came back just before 8 pm happier than when I left.
