336hrs from now......-> I will be after Long distance qualifications, probably lying with legs up looking forward to an A-final start position tmrw, somewhere in the middle of the start group, not so early I have to push down the tracks, not later than it’s still possible to walk the ground without burning the feet!
In other words, 2 weeks to the 2011 MTBO Worlds in Vicenza, kicks off!
This weekend was dedicated to “tune up” i.e. get the body ready for what’s waiting, so the short weekend report goes like this:
Hills, Heat & Speed!
The “a bit longer version”:
Hills: those who read here the last weeks or ever been in Warsaw or surroundings (i.e. 300km radius around!) will know this is a no existing thing here, so to get to hills one have to MOVE!
Heat: to be sure the 2nd “H” also was fulfilled I choose the HU/A MTBO cup in Gelse, HUNGARY!
Speed: is not only needed on the bike racing against the best Hungarians/Austrians, also if you wanna travel 2 x 992KM, race, eat goulash, recover & race again, all within 72hrs!
With the help of the international recognized “empty road at night” & “if u don’t see a light, it’s save to pass” laws of driving at night, in combination with the horse power of a brand new Passat, a couple of legs that are getting closer & closer to WOC shape & a few cups of coffee: I managed all within the time limit!
Now Ms Scott is ready for a complete overhaul (new crank bearings, new front rings, new cassette, new chain = $$$$$$) & I’m ready for some serious sleep, but we had a great weekend:
2 x 2nd place with loads of excuses, technical defects that would easy have given me 2 x 1st ;-)
335hrs & counting……zzzzz ZZZZZZZZZ
