zurück in Basel!
Today in English... 700 km and almost 13'000 vertical meters, I bought another bike (I know it is getting slightly ridiculous, but this one is brilliant for mountaineous terrain!) and a bit of a mental rollercoaster. Torsten is no longer too interested in endurance sports... he bailed out on me, which leaves me searching for a new gigathlon partner.
The training camp was excellent, because I could reduce my pulse by 10-15 bpm with equal slopes and speed! Endurance training successfully controlled despite the thrills that come from riding in a group. Thursday and Saturday I went wild on the mountain, hiking the pulse up to do strength training.
The next weeks? Intervall training and Kopplungstraining, which I don't know in English...biking.running.biking.running.biking.... get the drift?
4 weeks and I am off to Mallorca again. If you are looking for a personal atmosphere, excellent infrastructure and fun people, I can recommend Phillips Bike Team in Mallorca.
