100% trails and roads 50:49 [1] 10.05 km (5:03 / km) +40m 4:57 / km

Arrived in Colorado Springs. Run with Christoph in pouring rain... we hit the biggest rainstrom of the year since we arrived in Colorado yesterday. What a coincidence. But we will head north tomorrow to attend to the legendary Laramie daze... and actually to find the sun.

Note

Travel to Colorado. Long day, but it mainly worked all out well.

100% trails and roads 1:20:00 10.36 km (7:43 / km) +520m 6:10 / km

SOW # 6 in Sunnegga. OK race in regard of the conditions, thick fog and rain. Missed #4 2min and other minor hesitation. At the end I lost 4 minutes to Daniel! Surprisingly I was feeling physically pretty strong. I was able to push the hardest out of all the 6 SOW days. Getting acclimatized to the altitude? Finally rested from the Marathon du Mont Blanc and the last hectical weeks at work.

Orienteering 1:20:00 12.75 km (6:17 / km) +536m 5:11 / km

SOW #5 at Trockener Steg. Very good beginning until I started running too fast in the technical section and ran down a wrong nose. When I climbed up back up the wrong cliffs and snow fields I had lost several minutes. I finished the course in middle tempo, enjoying the great terrain.

11 AM

100% off trails 47:00 [1] 4.74 km (9:55 / km) +412m 6:55 / km

Unconventional cool down. Breithorn (4166m) from Kleines Matterhorn with Archibald, Jan, Baptiste and Gabriel.

Orienteering 1:21:00 11.52 km (7:02 / km) +528m 5:43 / km

SOW #4. Mass start in Grünsee. Missed already the 3rd control. From there on I was chasing the big guys ahead... unfortunately I wasn't a strong predator :-). Pretty tired...

C • I'm glad you're human, too! 1

4 PM

100% trails and roads 1:01:25 [1] 9.6 km (6:24 / km) +467m 5:09 / km

Trail run in Zermatt. Oh, all the muscle hurt from the sprint yesterday... not yet ready to hit the asphalt... I guess the muscle are still not totally recovered.

Saturday Jul 19, 2014 #

1 PM

Town orienteering 58:00 8.88 km (6:32 / km) +143m 6:03 / km

SOW #1 Sprint in Zermatt. I was fighting a lot with the map, but I guess it went pretty well. I only lost 1min to the best guys and qualified into the half final as 12th.

4 PM

Town orienteering 43:00 6.42 km (6:42 / km) +150m 6:00 / km

Half final. Really good run, but I missed to go all the way to one control. Too bad, I would have made the qualification into the final... probably my best sprint result since many many years... and most probably I will never again match it in the future.

Friday Jul 18, 2014 #

Run with Matti 1:31:06 [2] 16.23 km (5:37 / km) +471m 4:54 / km

First time I feel not too much pain everywhere since the Marathon du Mont Blanc. Nice feeling to feel free running again.

6 PM

100% trails and roads 1:05:00 [1] 10.68 km (6:05 / km) +493m 4:57 / km

Coached the juniors on the Challenge de la Grande Vy. Muscles are still hurting and not responding. To run the Challenge de la Grande Vy last Thursday and the Trophée des Tablettes after the Marathon du Mont-Blanc were probably not that wise.

Sunday Jul 13, 2014 #

11 AM

Run with Matti 1:09:17 [1] 13.83 km (5:01 / km) +348m 4:27 / km

Run with Matti and godfather Tom. Actually, my calf starting bothering me quite early in the jog, so Matti's godfather jumped in and pushed him most of the way.

C • You did my favorite loop! 2

Saturday Jul 12, 2014 #

100% trails and roads 30:07 [5]

Trophée des Tablettes. This was definitely not a wise decision to take part at that race... but I knew it :-). I felt exhausted and my calf started hurting.
I finished second behind a Moroccan.

100% trails and roads 30:00 [1] 5.0 km (6:00 / km) +100m 5:27 / km

Warm up and cool down.

Friday Jul 11, 2014 #

11 AM

100% trails and roads 48:10 [1] 7.45 km (6:28 / km) +327m 5:18 / km

Run home from work. Whole body aches again... I guess I should start training again before doing some racing again.

Thursday Jul 10, 2014 #

6 PM

100% trails and roads 17:24 [1] 2.2 km (7:54 / km) +61m 6:57 / km

Warm up.

7 PM

100% trails and roads 42:09 [5] 8.7 km (4:51 / km) +846m 3:16 / km

Défi de la Grande Vy.
Uphill race from Plan Jacot to la Grande Vy. I started 1 min behind Gaspard Cuenot on rollerskis and 9 min ahead of 140 road bikers.
One of the bikers caught me before La Grande Vy... tight fight!

I had only minor troubles with my calf. I guess the PT did miracles yesterday evening. I could fight really well, and I was quite a bit faster than what I thought I would run.

3 PM

100% trails and roads 45:00 [1] 8.93 km (5:03 / km) +189m 4:34 / km

Calf test. Getting slowly better, but still painful.

Tuesday Jul 8, 2014 #

100% trails and roads 20:00 [1] 4.0 km (5:00 / km)

First attempt to run again since the Marathon du Mont-Blanc.
After the marathon I had strong sore muscles for a couple of days because of the tough downhill finish. But after 3 days the body felt fine again except my right calf which I probably injured a bit.
