Snow and Sun ...

That week was the third week of training for the race. I'm getting more tired than usual. Maybe it is a bit too strong ... let's see that week. This was the recovering week, so, I should not be so bad this week, which is endurance.

Thursday, as usual, climbing! It's getting funnier every time!

Saturday we went skiing, probably for the last time this winter. It was nice. I'm getting some techniques explained by Klaus (who practice this for the last 35 years, since he's 3 years old). It was fun at the end. And it was a different and better place than last time.

Since there was not "long and slow" on saturday, I had to do it on sunday, even though I had to help Thorsten moving flats. This last week we had snow on monday and nothing else (snow or rain) since then! Friday was sunny and saturday also. That means dry streets and roads! Good thing to an outdoor training, instead of indoor, and, why not, with the race bike!!

Saturday night I was too tired for going out, or for thinking, so I decided to sleep early and leave early in the morning. Started to prepare everything for next morning. Both bikes ('cos in case it was not sunny I'd go with the MTB). Equipment. Everything. Ended up changing an unused tube that came with problem and got a hole when I inflated it (gotta complain at the store). A tube should be good to get 130 PSI (9 BAR) of pressure.

Those unexpected tire problems made me sleep later than I wanted to ... but no problems. Still on time to wake up early, sleeping 9 hours, and do my outdoor training.

Sunday, 9 AM, got off the bed and ... and ... and ... IT WAS SNOWING!!!!! Isn't that great???????????

Had to go and do an indoor training, which is boring, specially if you had the illusion that it would be outdoor ... anyway! It's ok.

New week starts, today I couldn't train because I had an early appointment at the institute. But I just shifted the training schedule and there will be no resting on wednesday ... let's see how it goes!
