After a friend entered Leonie in the Muttersberglauf she decided she couldn’t have all the fun alone and entered me also. So we drove to Bludenz on a very wet Sunday morning. The race was short, just 8km but with 1200 m of climbing. It was a part of the world cup mountain running circuit which didn’t help our prospects of doing well. <\/p>\n
The race started and I cruised off at what I thought was a happy sustainable pace noting that my legs were still tired from cycling. Not long before leaving the streets and entering the forest Leonie caught me up and I decided to give up on trying to go hard and treat it as a leisurely training run. So I ran with Leonie waiting occasionally but not much to the top. <\/p>\n
The weather was pretty rubbish. It felt like running in a tropical rain forest for a lot of it, misty, cloudy, and very damp. We escaped the cloud below the summit to cross the finish line at a little hut.<\/p>\n
After descending we drove back to Lindau at which point the sun came out and I went for a nice ride up to Pfaender and along the hills before heading down to the lake in the evening and hanging out with the Denso\/Adasens\/Couch surfing crew for the evening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
