New SB for Gnigl run!!

all the training's done, I'm ready to go!
This has been my last run before the race on Sunday... tried to push hard and kept reminding myself that a good time can only be achieved by running fast... and run fast I did :)
I gotta admit I am a little bit concerned about the weather report for Sunday... highs are supposed to reach 35 °C that day so it's gonna be a huge struggle even in the morning... hope I'll find the right mix of pushing and cruising on Sunday

my initial plan was to bike from Salzburg to Hallein and then make my way to Bad Dürrnberg - Rossfeld - Kehlsteinhaus and back via Oberau... started out slowly and got into a good rhythm so the first part was not really a challenge anymore... it did get challenging though once I had discovered the trail leading to Kehlsteinhaus - it was quite steep and all gravel...as I am not great on gravel and didn't wanna kill myself in a race week, I called it quits before I had reached my intended destination
still, today's bike ride makes me feel good about my plans to conquer the Großglockner soon

Elsbethen run, new SB!
After Sunday's disaster, I reminded myself that training cannot always be fun... sometimes you just have to be hard on yourself and push as much as you can... that's what I tried to do today and I feel like I made a step in the right direction
