3. Etappe Ischgl - School, 75 km, 2504 Höhenmeter
The third day was hard, but offered us a view from the roof gandiosen the Transalp, the Idjoch with 2737 meters height. Unfortunately we were unable to use the cable car, but had to connect everything - the last kilometer with 20% slope we have, as almost all the drivers pushed around us. During the drudgery we practiced ourselves in the fine art of Zen Budhismus. In our mind, we asked ourselves more questions: Why am I doing this? Am I here it? Who am I? Am I? The water leaves the consciousness of the body ...
top between the snowfields a quick photo and then we have thrown in the descent. Very nice, but unfortunately much faster than the increase over ... The aid station has saved our lives, where we could store our refill. Eating with (as a verb) has however not much to do, we shoveled every second quarter of Orange into us, plus bananas, apples, melons, cakes and trail mix, and the inevitable energy bars and sports drinks. The dosage is very simple: it fills in record time so much to himself until it is just before gagging. Then a cup of water and into the next rise.
The descent offered driving pleasure on steep, rooted trails. How can we take that? To quote a well-known cyclo-cross racers: "You have to just share the link!" Have we made. The end of the stage was slightly uphill 25 km to the Inn. Sounds relaxing, But because it went so well, it degenerated into a team time trial: Tempo 40 was not uncommon, but brought us to the edge of our capabilities. But as evidenced by the photos, we were in top shape for the finish line again! the height profile http://bike-festival.de.dedi1569.your-server.de/fileadmin/user_upload/pdf_biketransalp/hoehenprofile/cbt2010_03.pdf to Day Rating: http://bike-festival.de.dedi1569.your-server.de/fileadmin/user_upload/pdf_biketransalp/ergebnisse10/e3_1909.pdf
1. Etappe: Füssen - Imst, 79km, 1939 Höhenmeter
New team, May we introduce: Defect witch! A extremely superfluous person that always comes when you least need. It all started very relaxed today with the good news that we may start in A starting block. Very nice, that brings peace and a good starting position! We thought. Henning noticed a loose seat post in the morning, shortly before the start quickly Specialized booth, new support, peace was. The first kilometer in the direction of Neuschwanstein were driven at 40 km / h, behind the palace, after neutralization, the race was open. Austria was quickly reached, but no luck brought us: the first exit Karsten had a puncture. Sounds no longer bad, but you have now trained 1200 by Mountain Biker Presenting are hot on the race for which they have trained many months. In the bustle of the malaise of Karsten Henning has not noticed and was that way. During the tube change then roared past a few hundred drivers nungut ..., after much cursing, we had 35 km later. The rest is reported quickly, much eating and drinking, then uphill and downhill cycling, and then we were already there.
Let's see what tomorrow brings, very difficult stage. Today we have lost our luck a bit of time. And this much is clear: the defect witch flies out of the team and remains in Imst, or where the pepper grows.
