Event: US Champs
 

New O-race, same old, same old: battling with Sharon! ;-)). My brain was still very fuzzy at the beginning, I could not shake it during my warm-up. I was warned that it was not the typical Sprint-O I am used to here in Switzerland (or my favorite street-O in Venice for that matter). Small mistake to #1 as I was not aware that I was on "my" trail as it seemed too indistinct, but corrected it fast. My splits are slower than Sharon's up to the 6th control, then I got a clear head and could start to speed up. Unfortunately, I'm punching a wrong control as I did not pay attention for a moment, but realise the wrong number. Stop for a moment and lose my concentration and momentum. Then, I force myself to get going and soon go to the correct one and finish ok.
Still lose 40 secs on Sharon, amazing to me the shape she is in and how she keeps on running and running.
Nice Sprint-O in the woods at the beginning with fast decisions and changes of direction.

Sprint Brown - Splits

Flying to Washington D.C. :-)), start some of my shopping while waiting for Christoph, then driving to Triangle and crash about 3 am Swiss time!

Teaching 2 yoga classes (instead of Thu) and feels good to stretch and strengthen.

Tomorrow I'll fly to US for Champs and seeing Christoph :-)))!!!

Do Lombach Loop, easy as I managed to give myself sore muscles again form Sunday (?) or the classes yesterday ;-). Cold rain and windy, nasty conditions.
17.39 frist bridge, 13.38 all way down, 31.18 total and 28.53 back.

Nordic Walking in rain to the ruins Unspunnen; ghostly walk :-).
Have very sore muscles all over but especially in my legs. Am I getting sick or is it just yesterday's training and strengthclasses?

Also teaching 2 classes today, little effort but felt muscles a bit.

2 weeks ago I wrote that I knew some day, I will run this loop under 40 Min. Well, i gathered it would be next year, but no! I did it today!! I felt good and strong and quickly got a run in over lunch because I can't go in the evening anymore because we changed back to wintertime :-(.
25.31 first farm house, 14.24 back.

Teaching two core classe (2x45 min), but my effort maybe 60 min.

Hiking with Sandra onto the Wiriehorn! Almost sunny, but cold and beautiful fall day. We needed to escape the fog and greyness in the lower elevation that stretches over the whole middleland. With this kind of weather pattern, the mountains usually are warmer with blue skies!
