Timely Known to arrive gives a good fit. It is however a risk that with increasing time on the ground of respect for the task to be performed more and more increasing. This can be good, but also paralyzing. Well, let's assume at first.
On Thursday and Friday I traveled to Dietrich, the bike course. The approach is already used to. Already after the 500m swim exit to expect a 10% slope for about 400m. Then it drops steeply downhill and it directly follows a sharp left turn on bumpy ground, which is really dangerous.
then runs the route over 45km on a good flat Aspalter without special challenges.
The loop around the airport featuring the hottest point of the course. Despite the constant movement of air is there not the feeling of cooling, on the contrary. What follows is a 35km long-wavelength range with constant ups and downs with some over 10% gradients. Pro Round 5 increases are outstanding, which are run to four times. Click to add up the climb and with increasing number of rounds it will certainly be very painful. On Thursday, we had measured on the bike, on average, 35 degrees, 37.5 degrees on Friday. The peak values \u200b\u200bof 43 degrees! A look at comparative figures from Hawaii in 2007 and 2008, which never auswiesen an average of more than 33 degrees back, the tips of the Andre rechte Licht der sagte, dass es hier viel heißer sei als in Kona. Als Dietrich und ich uns am Freitag mehrmals verfuhren und ungeplanter Weise über 2:30 Stunden unterwegs waren mit je nur zwei Radflaschen bekam ich eine Ahnung davon was passiert, wenn man bei diesen extremen Verhältnissen "trocken läuft". Mit dem letzten Tropfen erreichten wir völlig platt das Hotel und waren heilfroh, es wieder hierhin geschafft zu haben.
Für den Samstag waren wir somit bedient, was das Radfahren anbetraf. Es gibt ja noch andere Sachen ...
