News
Time to write a bit of news in English for everybody around the world to read. I have been assigned a mentor through the Swiss Business Women association. The coach of a Swiss premiere league soccer club and I have met a week ago, and he invited me to train with his team early January. Absolutely brilliant to have this kind of opportunity, and it is just the motivation I needed after my training break to give it my everything. Please don't post envious comments ;-)
In addition, the training winter competition run by an online cycling forum is excellent to measure yourself against others. Our women-only team is already on place 72, and we have gained about 5 ranks a week so far, so things are looking up ;-)
I also finally bought a thing to mount my bike on indoors (thank you eBAY!!!) - whatever they are called in English, and I hope to start a week from tomorrow, once it has arrived.
For additional training boosts, I have signed up for a spinning marathon early February (12 hours in teams of 2) and our German affiliate may be planning a sponsored half-marathon participation for patients early March. So, who said winter would get boring?
Last, but not least, I will go into the Canadian-German Triathlon camp in April, followed by a long stay in Mallorca... 7 weeks!!! Yes. One could say that things are just brilliant these days...
Here are the training facts:
I have started cycling to work every day. So 65' of cycling on top of it all... nice to get some 02 into the muscle, especially in the mornings...
01.12.2006, 60' run - what a sunny day!!!
30.11.2006, 60' spinning
29.11.2006, just cycled to work... pouring rain, Body Pump in the evening.
28.11.2006, 45' beautiful lunch-break run
27.11.2006, 60' spinning, 20' core
26.11.2006, 70' run after we lost the soccer game. Had to get rid of some emotions. G2 with speed intervals, 60' Body Pump
24.11.2006 - 60' run with 5xfast 200m
