cycling with Ari.
Was happy to be in the wheel of Ari at the parts with heavy headwind.

la chouffe classic.
Together with Ken and http://www.sempstseduvels.be/
As usual after 45k my back started to say that he needed some rest. after each stop, first 15k back was ok, but than he needed rest again.

First 90k I could stay with Ken and the best sempste duvel.
We skipped the second stop - so between 30k and 110k i only had 0.4l water.Certainly not enough.

It was fun and at the end I felt better again - rewarded by a la chouffe!
Very nice track!!
Perfect weather

C • serieuse rit en goed doorge... 3

extended warm up before the race because the mass start was delayed by about 20min. Some good runners at the start - Benjamin Anciaux - Michel Bastin and Dirk Goossens... I imagined that it would be these 3 runners I would see in the forest.

Very tricky mass start. I had to run about 40m extra to get my map and than run through a bunch of people picking their maps... ended up about 80m behind the lead after only 100m run.

At control 3 I was in the lead with Michel - Dirk and Benjamin, than took a safer route choice and lost about 10" doing that and I didn't see them anymore, I thought they might have missed the control because it was tricky, until control 8 I thought I was in the lead.

Than I saw Michel again and I could close the gap to him - didn't have any idea were the other 2 were. At control 18 I see Dirk again behind me and missing 19 by about 30" brings Michel in the lead and me and Dirk 30" behind.

Towards the last control we see Michel. I run straight to the last control and arrive first in the stadium - great feeling to arrive first in a mass start of about 100 runners.

running at heverleebos starting from parkingplace E40 - towards Zoete Waters, with extra loop.

Not the best feeling - right achilles painful - hay fever - and blood sugar level problems because had lunch with my boss at 2pm.
It's my last day at work - next wednesday I start with my new job at SKF.

C • Traject 1

towards RAM and back + 3 laps.
The woman at the entrance would not let me in without my RAM-membership card so I had to climb the big fence. Reminded me of Belgian Championship in Lommel a few years ago...

accellerations in the straight line... preferred not to do 400m intervals but 10 laps with accellerations... I extented the straight line with about 20m so it became a 30" fast - 30" slow training.

4 x 6' easy recovery training - stretching and achilles exercises in between.
