This was a hill race with a twist, organised yearly by Tobias' cousin Simon.. The start was in Galgenen, and the finish at Ruchweid (650m vertical climb), with free route through the wander ways, fields and forest. Twist is that you have to carry a crate of beer and drink it on the way!
I ran in a team with Karin (Leonhardt), and we decided upon 6 beers for the trip (officially the guys have to drink 10, but girls are allowed to do what they want!). I was more smashed than Karin at the end, but not enough to turn down two more at the top! Maybe can do 8 next time, with a bit better training ;)
After a medicinal shot of herbal schnapps at the start we set off at an awkrad crate carrying run, which lasted a few hundred meteers till be got into the forest and had the first bear. We soon discovered that with all the fresh beer in our stomachs walking would be more pleasant..
It was a total hoot, starting in reverse speed order meant we met most other teams on the way, could try to get gains with some ducious 'shortcuts', padventures through mud, cow fields and electric fences. We took 90 minutes all up, most of that was probably in the the last few hundred meters of hilarity!

ahr:153 max:169 shoes: Adidas Supernova boost
Evening run at a hardish pace. Around Eichholz including 5 laps of the forest barkchip loop, which keep the legs entertained whilst the mind can go off and thinks about things. Loved the evening summer light through the forest after heaps of rain!
Feeling that I have done no real training for a month (tapering, sick at WOC, two weeks feeling rather jaded about training). Getting back into it from this week.
Some short term goals:
Build strength. besser and stronger running form.
Plan and stick to training plan
Enjoy plenty of summer long runs, rides, swims, canoing
Top ten in Swiss long champs and the Swiss national events
and later:
Top 20 in the World cup middle in Liestal (beforehand get a positive feeling in Mittellandwald)
Top 6 in world cup in Tassie
Have happy knees :)

Running 10:00 [4]
Test run in the morning with Elin. Legs felt better than expected (i.e. didn't feelilike colapsing going down the stairs, like yesterday) but HR was very high at easy effort (basically as high as when doing intervals) and really hurt. So no chance of running the relay, although I felt better enough to come and watch.

Feeling very weak and horrible, even getting out of bed and walking is an effort. Couldn't even think about running. Spectated the middle from bed, course looked like heaps of fun, didn't seem quite real watching it.
Probably can't tell until tomorrow morning if I will be able to run for the relay.

Running 5:00 [1]
(sick)
Went for a little walk in the sun, then tried to jog a bit but felt too awful. Thought the blocked nose feeling I woke up with might clear but feeling worse throughout the day. I haven't been sick, let alone this bad, for a long time.
Decided not to run the middle tomorrow, to give me a better chance of being ok for the relay. If only I had had the guts to not run yesterday instead. Lesson learnt to follow my instinct.

WOC Long distance. This was an anticlimax considering how much I have looked forward to this race and that I felt so well trained/prepared until I got sick two days ago. I didn't feel much better this morning and really didn't want to run, but felt I should for the team.
About 30mins before the start I managed to get positive, aiming to focus 100% control after control, run steady no stress. I was pretty happy with my route choices and navigation. Just a few small losses. Had a few girls run past but I couldn't push any harder. Some parts felt good but the hills and towards the end I was just empty.
Hopefully I can recover for the middle and relay.
Hanny did really well to come 13th, wouldn't have needed my run for points in the end.
43rd, 18:30 behind

Woke in the middle of the night with a sore throat and didn't sleep well. Seemed to come on suddenly as I felt good yesterday.
So I'm spending the day relaxing and gargling, and spectating the sprint relay from the hotel :( Good luck Aussie team!!
Feeling tired and a bit achey in addition to the sore throat, generally the feeling that my body is fighting something off.
Really I hope up tomorrow feeling back to normal...
