Photo session on the slopes yesterday. 6k run today.
Must have been 25° at lunch today. A hot warm breeze was blowing and I took a 24k solo ride at lunch. 200m climbing.
17k 220m of climbing (one repeat). Compact works very well but needs some adjustment. 63kph no problem on the decent with a head wind.
DG tries the Blok again.
Sud and DG finally meet up. Lanciano - Passo Lanciano - Lanciano. A great ride!
Finally back from Milan. Did a 35k warm-up ride, nice and easy while DG is our scouting Pretoro for our big ride tomorrow...
Slo, DG is out doing the recon. He took the car up to Passo Lanciano and was surprised how steep it is....
"Vivicittà" todayi. A 12k run through the city center, around the old city, along the lungomare and back up to the start. Thousands of people. I was with a friend and his group of dedicated long distance runners. My buddy averaged 4.30/km, one of his friends 4. It was overcast and a warm sirocco was blowing hard. I started fast, slowed down after 6k (the distance I train at), then was able to pour it on for the last 3k. I could have pushed harder I think if i hadn't lost my friend in the crowd at the start.
I wrote this a couple weeks ago but it got stuck in the draft folder.....
Gorgeous day today. Sunny, windy. the sea is pea green and frothy with big white breakers. I got up late and to avoid getting in my car to go biking I went fo a run. 56 minutes along the coast past the big lighthouse and back. I am hoping it will help me build endurance and drop a couple of lbs.
