Training Log Archive: Ken_peeters

At the beginning I lost time at the 2th and 3th control. Due to this Duncan Archer caught me at the 6th control and we ran together till the end. I was quiet 'usefull' for him as he ran much faster than me. I kept orienteering and could help him at the area of the control. At the end we lost 1 minute at the 19th control.

Event: The 3 Days of France
 

Training at noon with Valerie in terrain around La-Chapelle-La-Reine. Nice terrain with a lot of rocks.

First day of France 3 days. I felt not very good, a bit to warm. I made to terrible mistakes (at 10th, 5 minutes and 19th control, 4.5 minutes). I finished 28th on 53 participants.

Travelling from Annecy to Marne La Vallee for three days of France.

Climbing of the Telegraph and Galibier (2646m height) starting at 700m height. After the Telegraph it is 5 km descending till Valloire (only 150m below Telegraph). then it was 17 km climbing to the top of the Galibier.

Descending from Galibier. First 17 km/H icecold to Valloir. Mijlemans has a fatter skin than me and survived better. In Valloire me and Mijlemans drove alone to the cars to pick up the others.

We did a tour towards La Clusaz where the Col de Colombière starts. Firts we climbed col d'Epines (8 km,947m height, 6,2%) starting in Marlens. Next we did an strong unknown col, Plan Bois. This col is at 1490m heigth and got maximal climbing of 15%. This 8 km long climb was very intens but very beautiful. After this we climb the first known col of the day, the Col de Croix-Fry starting from Manigod (6,5 km, 1499m height, 7%). After descending we arrived at La Clusaz where we saw the tour stage of that day. We wanted to ride back for climbing the Col de Forclaz but it started to rain so we drove home at very high speed (40-45 km/h) at the parcours of the time trail of this tour de France at Annecy. Mijlemans was awsome. Constantly 40-42 km/h.

Rainy day, no cycling today.

We did an more easy day without any big cols towards Aix-Les-Bains. We still did 1300m heigths, which is more than the previous day. At the end we did again the Col de Leschaux from the other side towards Annecy.
