Here we go again ...
Now we are finally two nights in an accommodation - a nice hotel somewhere in the Italian Alps. The path here was once a fine piece of work:
It started at dawn. The route took the first good 28 km easy wave through the valley - peppered with a truly ordinary rise over 500 meters to over 12 km. We have super gemeister. Then we went more or less flat through the valley - just the terrain - we have made good progress and have probably worked well forward - we should, however, only find out later. The "flat" 28 km, we have brought in about 3 hours behind us.
JP's face reflected somewhat exhausted then again - same happened to me so himself yesterday We are then in the pure mountain - and suddenly hats well at JP "Beng" and made the air was out.
He has all the increase "highly suffered" - every few meters, a short stop to rest and allow subsequent "competitors" is over. The increase did not really end - something I have never experienced. We are constantly booted into the clouds. The end was in sight. Finally, we have needed for about 1200 meters 1 1 / 2 hours - absolute madness! But that should not be forgotten. The summit was still a good 12 miles away from the target and it was really cold up there and the snow melted away in recent days was not yet. We are in a daring rescue mission with the mountain top slipped and then run over and over again on the snow fields. That was really adventurous. Then, after the snows were over, we went to Gen nice smooth stones on the valley. But that was probably our luck today - no one could quickly run down the hill - Exceptions There Were it ever again. Some of you have even the finest stunts then put down ... We were headed and are in good run down - albeit with a few ground contacts.
In the valley, JP then lit the afterburner. Somehow he had recovered from the downhill passage as soon as possible and wanted to go home. We ran in frantic pace target gene - from time to time I've actually cut it to 4:15 NEN the Clock read:)
It has a lot of fun again.
the finish we were really surprised when we realized that we were 29th become in our category. In the overall rankings, we have been working well ahead: No. 72!
was Now we realized how good we actually ran the first 28km - we were eventually overtaken by so few teams on the mountain.
So overall a great day - especially since our legs get used to so slow to load - no sore muscles! Obs continue, we see tomorrow. Then a "recovery day" called for: only about 30 km with some 1500 meters - a joke compared to recent days. We can even sleep an hour longer - start is not until 8 clock!
So - again very best wishes from the total rainy Alps. Sorry, there is also the next day not be better. But that also belongs to somehow ....
JP and Sascha
